Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (approximately 10 oz each) Ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Stevia or Erythritol
- 0.25 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper to create the spice rub.
Place the ribeye steaks on a plate and drizzle each side with olive oil to slightly coat the surface.
Generously apply the spice rub on both sides of each steak, pressing down to ensure the spices adhere well.
In another small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, stevia or erythritol, and liquid smoke (if using) to make a keto-friendly marinade.
Brush the marinade onto both sides of the spiced steaks and let them sit for at least 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, the coals should be gray and ashy before cooking.
Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time for your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the steaks hot with your favorite low-carb side dishes or a fresh salad.
