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
Directions
Step 1
Place the ribeye steaks on a large plate or in a shallow dish.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 6
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).
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve each steak with a lemon wedge on the side for an extra zesty finish.
