Juicy pork ribeye steak in a sweet honey-garlic sauce is an easy, delicious dinner recipe your family will love. Ready in minutes!
You might not be completely familiar with pork steaks but they have become a firm favorite in our house. Not only are they easier to cook than pork chops (the connective tissue means they stay juicier and don’t dry out so quickly), they’re also super versatile and absolutely delicious.
They work very well cooked with a sweet, sticky sauce and this honey-garlic sauce is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Serve with steamed greens, these pork ribeye steaks make an excellent easy weeknight dinner.
How to cook pork ribeye steak
Sear the steaks in a hot pan until well-browned on both sides. Mix honey, soy sauce (or Tamari for a gluten free version), chilli/red pepper flakes, lemon juice and minced garlic and pour into the pan. Allow to cook and reduce, basting the pork with the sauce, until the sauce is thick and sticky and the pork is cooked through.
Are pork steaks and pork chops the same?
Pork chops and pork ribeye steaks are very similar. Pork ribeye is also cut from the loin but is boneless and cut from the rib area of the loin. If you can’t find pork ribeye steaks, pork chops can easily be used instead.

I’ve made this twice since seeing your recipe. My kids love it and ask for it all the time. Super delicious.
I LOVE when kids love my recipes. So happy yours did Rebecca. 🙂
Can this be cooked in the crockpot also?
I’ve never tested it in a crockpot and I think the steak might dry out so wouldn’t recommend it.
Had this for dinner and we loved it. My son had two helpings and said this was the best pork he’s every tried. Great recipe!
Oh wow, high praise! 🙂
Love that this recipe only needs a handful of ingredients Alida, yet looks like it’s got so much flavor! Perfect for those bisy weeknights!
It is such a winner for busy weeknights! 🙂
Recipe sounds really good, but I have never heard of pork ribeye steaks. Do I have to speak to the meat department
people about them?
Yes, you can ask your butcher about them or else use pork chops if you can’t find ribeye steaks.
