1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 1/3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
1 pinch cinnamon

Steps:

Mix all ingredients together. Use as a marinade for beef steaks. Allow the meat to marinate over night. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a cast-iron frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Remove steaks from marinade. Sear the steaks on all sides (they will look back & chared because of the sugar in the marinate), moving them with tongs a little so they don't stick to the bottom. Remove from heat and put the cast iron skillet with the steaks in it into the oven. Cook until desired temperature:.
Rare - 120 degrees F.
Medium Rare - 125 degrees F.
Medium - 130 degrees F.
When the steaks are crusty-charred and done to your liking, remove from the pan, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
As a toper: Reduce 1/2 of dry red wine to a syrup consistency . Add the juices that accumulate from resting steaks. Remove pan from heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it in by swirling the pan. Pour over steaks just before serving.
