Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (8-10 oz each) Rib eye steaks
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the rib eye steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat. Lightly oil the grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed (130°F for medium-rare).
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steaks against the grain, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
