Black Pepper-honey Steak

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 3 tablespoons red wine
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 lb steak, cut at least 1-1/4 inch thick trimmed of excess fat (rib eye, porterhouse, t-bone, new york strip or delmonico)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt

Recipe

• 1 combine the wine, honey, garlic and pepper in a shallow dish, add the steak and coat with mixture. let stand and room temperature while you set up the rest of the meal.
• 2 heat the olive oil in a 10-inch sauté pan over medium high heat. pat steak dry; add to pan and brown quickly on both sides (salt lightly, and grind more pepper over both sides as they cook).
• 3 turn heat to medium low and cook, turning often, about 10 minutes or until steak reaches an internal temperature of 125° to 130°.
• 4 remove to a platter and let rest 5 to 10 minutes - the steak finishes cooking, the juices redistribute into the meat, and the steak will be much juicier for the wait.
