Place the seasoned steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the honey garlic marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Once hot, carefully place the steaks in the skillet.
⏱️ 2 min

Sear the steaks for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. A meat thermometer should read 130-135°F for medium-rare, 135-140°F for medium, and 140-145°F for medium-well.

Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.

Slice the steak against the grain into desired portions. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, and serve immediately.
