Ingredients:
For the steak:
-
2 ribeye steaks (1–1.5 inches thick)
-
1 tsp ground cumin
-
1 tsp ground coriander
-
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
-
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
1 tbsp olive oil
For the apricot-chili glaze:
-
1/4 cup apricot preserves
-
1 tbsp harissa paste (or chili garlic sauce)
-
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
-
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
-
1 garlic clove, finely minced
Optional sides (cook after steak in same skillet):
-
Sliced zucchini
-
Sliced red onion
-
Cherry tomatoes
-
Fresh mint for garnish
🔥 Instructions:
1. Season the Steak:
Rub ribeye steaks generously with salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, and cayenne. Let them sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
2. Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together apricot preserves, harissa, vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.
3. Preheat the Skillet:
Place your Platinum Gourmet Jumbo Skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Let it heat thoroughly — you want it hot enough to sear.
4. Sear the Steaks:
Place steaks in the skillet and sear for about 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), pressing lightly with tongs to ensure even contact. Reduce heat slightly if needed.
5. Glaze and Finish:
Brush the apricot-chili glaze over the top of the steaks and flip once more. Let the glaze caramelize for 1 minute on each side.
6. Rest:
Remove steaks from skillet, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5–7 minutes.
7. Optional Veggies:
Toss sliced zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes into the same skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes with a pinch of salt and mint.
8. Serve:
Slice the steaks against the grain, drizzle with remaining glaze, and serve alongside sautéed veggies. Garnish with fresh mint.
