Course Main Course

Ingredients
  

Marinade Ingredients

  • 2-4 1 inch thick, trimmed ribeye steaks
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic, or 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Seasoning Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp flaked sea salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the marinade ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine
  • Put the marinade in a gallon-sized ziptop bag and add the steaks
  • Seal the bag and put it in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight
  • Remove the steaks from the fridge about a half hour before cooking
  • Stir the seasoning ingredients, except for the butter and olive oil, together in a small bowl. Set this near where you will be cooking the steaks

To Cook on the Grill:

  • Preheat the grill to high heat
  • Remove the steaks from the marinade, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with seasoning
  • Place the steaks on the grill and cook them for 4 to 6 minutes per side
  • Check the steaks with your meat thermometer and remove them when they are 130 to 135 degrees
  • Dot the tops with butter and tent aluminum foil over them
  • Let the steaks rest for about 5 to 8 minutes before serving

To Cook in a Pan:

  • Preheat a heavy cast iron or ovenproof pan over medium heat
  • Turn your oven on to 400 degrees
  • Take the steak from the marinade and lightly pat it dry
  • Sprinkle with the seasonings and place in the pan. Sear the meat well for 2 minutes per side to brown it
  • Place the pan into the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes
  • Remove from the oven, place the steaks on a plate to rest
  • Dot them with butter and cover with aluminum foil, letting them rest for about 10 minutes
  • Serve

Notes

  • As you're cooking, do not press the steak.
  • It's best to remove the steak when it is a few degrees cooler than you want it to be, since it will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill.
  • Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes before serving it to allow the juices to reabsorb into the muscle tissue.
