Ingredients

Scale

Choosing quality ingredients is key to making this dish shine. I always recommend picking fresh, high-quality steak—local butchers in San Diego have been my go-to since moving here. For the sauce, honey and mustard each bring unique character, so I opt for raw honey and a good English mustard when I can. If you don’t have English mustard, Dijon is a great substitute. Fresh garlic and a splash of lemon juice brighten things up, rounding out the flavor beautifully.

  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 8 oz each), or your preferred cut
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon English mustard (or Dijon mustard)
  • 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard (optional, for texture)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Remove steaks from the fridge at least 20 minutes before cooking to let them come to room temperature. This helps them cook evenly and stay juicy.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, English mustard, whole-grain mustard (if using), minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the pan.
  5. Place steaks in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust time based on thickness and preferred doneness). Avoid moving the steak around to get a nice crust.
  6. Lower heat to medium and spoon the honey mustard sauce over the steaks, allowing it to bubble gently and coat the meat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, flipping once to glaze both sides.
  7. Remove steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes. This resting time is crucial—it lets the juices redistribute for tender, flavorful bites.
  8. Serve garnished with fresh thyme or rosemary if you like, and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
