Honey-Garlic Surprise Steak

Ingredients

  • 1 Surprise Steak
  • 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature for 20–30 minutes. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Season: Rub the steak all over with the oil, then season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, and garlic until well combined.
  4. Heat the Pan: Heat a heavy-based skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes, until very hot.
  5. Sear the Steak: Place the steak in the hot pan and cook without moving it for 4–5 minutes, until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
  6. Flip and Glaze: Turn the steak over and pour the honey-garlic sauce into the pan. As the sauce bubbles and thickens, spoon it continuously over the steak. Cook for a further 3–4 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your liking and coated in a glossy glaze.
  7. Rest and Serve: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5–8 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and spoon the remaining pan sauce over the top before serving.
