Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye steaks
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup mixed bell peppers, sliced
- 2 cups Arugula (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme. This will be your marinade.
2. Place the ribeye steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the steaks are well-coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if time permits.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are glowing red with minimal flames.
4. Once the grill is hot, remove the steaks from the marinade and season both sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Adjust the timing according to your preference.
6. While the steaks are grilling, toss the sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and mixed bell peppers in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
7. Grill the vegetables alongside the steaks for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
8. Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks and vegetables from the grill. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
9. Serve the grilled ribeye steaks with the grilled vegetables on a bed of arugula if desired. Enjoy your flavorful Mediterranean-inspired meal!
