Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat ribeyes dry. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving. Crust should be golden-brown; center stays rare.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, gochujang, honey, and soy sauce to the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter scallions around the steaks. Tilt pan and baste meat with the glaze for 2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Divide warm rice between bowls. Top with a steak, scallions, and extra glaze. Sprinkle sesame seeds.
