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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat. Lightly oil the grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Step 6
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).
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Slice the steaks against the grain, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
