Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (8 oz each) Ribeye steak
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), olive oil, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Place the ribeye steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
While the grill is preheating, prepare the balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until the mixture reduces by half and has a syrupy consistency (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Discard the used marinade.
Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done.
Transfer the steaks to a platter and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the steaks or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Serve your Italian Barbecued Steak with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or creamy polenta. Enjoy!
