Ingredients
Scale
Steaks
- 2 ribeye steaks
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Seasoning & Garnish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Create Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the wasabi paste and soy sauce until well combined to form a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate Steaks: Rub the marinade evenly over both ribeye steaks and let them sit for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil to prepare for searing the steaks.
- Season Steaks: Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the steaks for balanced seasoning.
- Sear Steaks: Place the steaks in the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, aiming for a medium-rare doneness.
- Add Sesame Seeds: During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle sesame seeds on both sides of the steaks to add a nutty crunch and visual appeal.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Allowing the steaks to rest after cooking is crucial to keep them juicy and tender.
- Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness.
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of wasabi paste.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best sear on the steaks.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
