Honey Seared Steak
Did you know I worked at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse all throughout college?
It’s true. I was a hostess and server for about 4 years. And while there are many things I didn’t enjoy about food service, there were some positives to working there. The most valuable thing that happened during my time there?
Learning to love under cooked steak.
Yes, that’s Kota in the background waiting for us to share with her.
I used to be a solid medium-well kinda gal. But they converted me to a medium-rare chick. Now every time I eat a steak, I’m grateful that I was enlightened about the superiority of a dark red center.
Anyways, enough about me. Here’s the recipe.
Ingredients:
2 steaks of choice (mine were NY Strip)
1 T butter
1 T honey
2 cloves garlic (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Season both steaks with salt and pepper (and garlic powder if using that).
Heat up butter on medium high heat.
If doing fresh garlic, dice, press, or mince and saute for a minute.
Drizzle honey on both sides of steak and add to pan.
Sear each side for 3-5 minutes (depending on the thickness of your steak and how you like it done).
Let steak sit for 5 minutes after searing, then enjoy!
Steak night is the best night, and I hope you love this savory, sweet dinner!
