Loading...Nothing says summer like grilling a juicy rib-eye steak. This cut of beef is full of flavor and is often considered one of the most tender steaks available. Rib-eye steak is perfect for grilling and can be combined with a variety of marinades or seasonings. Here are some of our favorite rib-eye steak recipes to try on the grill.
Start by choosing the right steak. Look for steaks that are at least one inch thick and have even marbling throughout. Be sure to season the steak with salt and pepper before grilling. Preheat the grill to high heat, around 500 degrees. Place the steak directly over the flame and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, flipping once. For a perfect medium-rare rib-eye steak, cook to an internal temperature of 135 degrees. Let the steak rest for five minutes before slicing.
For a classic rib-eye steak, try a simple marinade of olive oil, garlic and herbs. Slice a garlic clove into thin slices, and combine with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of fresh herbs. Pour the mixture over the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Grill as directed above.
For a more flavorful steak, try a balsamic marinade. Combine 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 clove of garlic, 1 teaspoon of fresh oregano and 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary. Pour the mixture over the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Grill as directed above.
For a spicy steak, try a chili marinade. Combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of hot sauce, 1 clove of garlic and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Pour the mixture over the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Grill as directed above.
For a sweet and smoky steak, try a barbeque marinade. Combine 1/4 cup of barbeque sauce, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 clove of garlic and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Pour the mixture over the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Grill as directed above.
No matter which marinade or seasoning you choose, rib-eye steak is sure to be a hit. Grill up a delicious steak this summer and enjoy the tender, juicy meat that only a rib-eye steak can provide.
