Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2 steaks Ribeye steaks (or preferred cut)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and honey until fully combined.

Step 2

Stir in the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, black pepper, and kosher salt to create a fragrant marinade.

Step 3

Place the ribeye steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 4

Seal the bag (or cover the dish with plastic wrap) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to let the steaks absorb the flavors.

Step 5

When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Heat a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat until smoking hot. Add a tablespoon of olive oil if desired to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Sear the steaks on each side for 2-3 minutes, creating a crusty, golden-brown exterior.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the steaks for 5-8 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 9

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.

Step 10

Slice the steaks against the grain and serve them hot with your favorite sides.
