Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 12 oz each) Boneless ribeye steaks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Place the ribeye steaks on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Strip the leaves from the rosemary and thyme sprigs and chop them finely. Add these herbs to the marinade and whisk to combine.
Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate at room temperature for 15–30 minutes, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours (longer marination increases flavor).
If marinated in the refrigerator, let the steaks come to room temperature for about 15–20 minutes before cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly grease the skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the steaks on the hot skillet.
Cook the steaks for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for medium-well.
Remove the steaks from the heat and transfer them to a cutting board. Cover them loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
