Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or striploin)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
In a small bowl, combine honey, black pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic to create the glaze. Stir well and set aside.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt.
Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the steaks in the hot pan. Sear each steak for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a deep crust.
Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust time if you prefer a different level of doneness.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the pan. Once melted, spoon the butter over the steaks repeatedly to enhance the flavor.
Brush the honey and black pepper glaze generously over both sides of the steaks during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to caramelize slightly but not burn.
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish with fresh thyme if desired and serve the Honey and Black Pepper Steaks immediately with your favorite sides.
