Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1–1.5 inches thick, 1–1.5 lbs each)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, rosemary, and thyme until well combined.
- Marinate the Steaks: Place the ribeye steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4–8 hours. Flip the steaks halfway through marinating for even flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: About 30 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Preheat your gas grill to high heat (450–500°F).
- Grill the Ribeyes: Remove the steaks from the marinade and let excess drip off. Pat dry with paper towels for a better sear. Oil the grill grates lightly. Place the steaks on the hot grill. Sear for 4–5 minutes on the first side with the lid closed. Flip and grill for another 3–5 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp 130–135°F), or longer for desired doneness.
- Rest and Serve: Transfer the steaks to a plate and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pat of butter on top of each steak while resting.
- Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
- Discard any leftover marinade that has touched raw meat.
