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)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine honey, black pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic to create the glaze. Stir well and set aside.

Step 3

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt.

Step 4

Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust time if you prefer a different level of doneness.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh thyme if desired and serve the Honey and Black Pepper Steaks immediately with your favorite sides.
