Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Ribeye steak (or preferred cut)
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup White vinegar
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.33 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, ground black pepper, and water. Whisk together until well blended.
Place the ribeye steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off but reserving the marinade for later use.
Sear the steaks on the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate and tent them with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and brown sugar. Stir for 1 minute until the sugar begins to caramelize. Slowly pour in the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes, reducing slightly into a sauce.
Serve the steaks hot, drizzled with the adobo sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Pair with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
