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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20-30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil if needed to prevent sticking.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Brush the thickened glaze over the steaks for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if desired, then serve immediately.
