Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ribeye steaks, 3 tablespoons of honey, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 10 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare the marinade. In a small bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully integrated.
- Once the marinade is ready, place the ribeye steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even coverage.
- After marinating, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the marinated ribeye steaks in the hot skillet. Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, allowing a nice crust to form.
- Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 135°F (57°C). Adjust cooking time if you prefer a different doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, you can spoon some of the leftover marinade over the steaks for extra flavor. Be cautious not to burn the garlic.
- Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender steak.
- After resting, slice the ribeye steaks against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve immediately, drizzled with any remaining sauce from the skillet, if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Honey Garlic Pork Ribeye Steak with your favorite sides!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always let your steaks rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
- Marinating Magic: Don't rush the marinating process. Those 10 minutes allow the honey and garlic to deeply infuse the meat with incredible flavor.
- Searing Secrets: Use a hot skillet and avoid moving the steak too much to create that beautiful, caramelized crust.
- Doneness Detection: Use a meat thermometer for precision. 135°F is perfect for medium-rare, but adjust to your preference.
- Resting is Crucial: Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking to redistribute juices, ensuring a tender and juicy bite every time.
- Slice Smartly: Always cut against the grain to maximize tenderness and make each bite melt in your mouth.
