Ingredients
Scale
Steaks
- 2 ribeye steaks (1 to 1½ inches thick)
Marinade
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried rosemary, black pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
- Marinate the steaks: Place the ribeye steaks in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Bring to room temperature: When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
- Grill the steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time as needed depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- Rest the steaks: Remove the ribeyes from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a moist and flavorful steak.
- Serve: Slice or serve whole, pairing with your favorite sides for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Fresh rosemary can be substituted for dried rosemary if available for a more vibrant herb flavor.
- Use a meat tenderizer before marinating for extra tenderness, especially if using tougher cuts.
- This marinade recipe also works well with other cuts like sirloin or New York strip steaks.
