Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Rib eye steaks
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Orange juice
- 4 pieces (minced) Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Cilantro
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lime wedges
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the rib eye steaks in a sealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the steaks are evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the steaks for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender, juicy steak.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Pair with grilled vegetables, rice, or your favorite fiesta-inspired side dishes for a complete meal.
