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

Directions

Step 1

1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

3. Season the steaks lightly with salt on both sides.

Step 4

4. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat up until shimmering.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

6. Add the butter to the skillet and spoon it over the steaks for added richness during the last minute of cooking.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

9. Serve the steaks on a plate and generously drizzle the sweet sauce over the top.

Step 10

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.
