Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8-10 oz each) ribeye steak
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 stalks (sliced for garnish) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (for garnish) sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Set aside.
3. Season the steaks lightly with salt on both sides.
4. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat up until shimmering.
5. Place the steaks in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side to achieve a nice crust. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust time according to your preferred doneness).
6. Add the butter to the skillet and spoon it over the steaks for added richness during the last minute of cooking.
7. Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Cover with foil and let rest for 5-7 minutes to retain juices.
8. In the same skillet, pour in the soy sauce mixture. Bring it to a simmer while stirring, letting it reduce and thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
9. Serve the steaks on a plate and generously drizzle the sweet sauce over the top.
10. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
