Ingredients

  • 2 rib-eye steaks, about 1 inch thick
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, vegetable oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to ensure the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Place the rib-eye steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish large enough to hold the steaks in a single layer.
  3. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are fully coated. If using a plastic bag, press out the air and seal it. If using a shallow dish, cover it with plastic wrap. Marinate the steaks in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, turning the steaks occasionally to ensure even marination.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
  6. Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness. Flip the steaks only once during cooking to ensure an even sear.
  7. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  8. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh salad, for a complete and satisfying meal.
