Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 12 oz each) Ribeye steak
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Place the ribeye steaks on a large plate or in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, ground cumin, paprika, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring both sides are well coated. Use your hands to gently massage the mixture into the meat for even distribution.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let the steaks marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor. Remove the steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before grilling to allow them to come to room temperature.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Grill the ribeye steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed (medium-rare is 130°F, medium is 140°F).
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve each steak with a lemon wedge on the side for an extra zesty finish.
