Honey Garlic Glazed Steak Medallions

1. Prep the Steaks:
   • Season the steak medallions generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Steaks:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the steak medallions and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. (For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130°F.)
   • Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside to rest while you make the glaze.
3. Make the Honey Garlic Glaze:
   • In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar (if using). Stir to combine.
   • Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the glaze thickens slightly.
   • If you like a bit of heat, add the crushed red pepper flakes.
4. Glaze the Steaks:
   • Return the cooked steak medallions to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them.
   • Let them simmer in the sauce for 2-3 more minutes, allowing the glaze to coat the steaks.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on plates.
   • Spoon any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top of the steaks.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh pop of color.

Tips:

• You can substitute the steak medallions with any tender cut of steak like filet mignon, sirloin, or ribeye.
• For extra flavor, consider marinating the steaks for 30 minutes before cooking them.
• Serve the honey garlic glazed steak medallions with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Enjoy your savory-sweet, melt-in-your-mouth honey garlic glazed steak medallions!
