Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye steak (or your preferred cut of steak)
- 0.25 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, optional garnish)
- 3 slices orange slices (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the orange juice, lime juice, lemon zest, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Place the ribeye steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking. Discard the marinade.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates if necessary to prevent sticking.
Season the steaks with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish the steaks with fresh cilantro and orange slices, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
