Ingredients
-
2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
-
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey)
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
-
Pat the steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
-
Add steaks and sear 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or adjust to your preferred doneness). Remove from pan and let rest.
-
In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Simmer and reduce for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
-
Return the steaks to the skillet, spoon glaze over them, and finish with a pat of butter. Let sit 1–2 minutes.
-
Slice against the grain, drizzle with extra glaze, and serve hot!
Notes
-
Bring steaks to room temp before cooking for the juiciest results.
-
Swap ribeye with sirloin, filet mignon, or New York strip if preferred.
-
Use honey or maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a natural sweetener.
-
Leftover steak makes AMAZING wraps, salads, or sandwiches!
-
A meat thermometer takes the guesswork out — aim for 130°F for medium-rare!
