Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or strip)
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 pieces scallions, sliced (optional garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place the steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20-30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil if needed to prevent sticking.
Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and sear each steak for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature if necessary).
While the steaks sear, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for 5-6 minutes to thicken and create a glaze. Be sure to cook thoroughly to eliminate any raw meat juices.
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Brush the thickened glaze over the steaks for an extra layer of flavor.
Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if desired, then serve immediately.
