Instructions

1. Step 1: Pat 12 oz ribeye steak dry and season evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp black pepper on both sides.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the steak and cook for 4 minutes without moving to develop a crust.
3. Step 3: Flip the steak and cook for an additional 3 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for preferred doneness, then remove steak and let rest.
4. Step 4: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 1 clove minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Step 5: Stir in 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp ground coriander, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves; simmer the glaze for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
6. Step 6: Spoon the spiced citrus glaze over the rested steak before serving.
