Grilled Peanut Sesame Rib-Eye Steak

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Peanut Sesame Rib-Eye Steak.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious marinade for your rib-eye steaks, start by placing lemongrass, a quarter cup of vegetable oil, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, dark soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil into a food processor.

2. Step 2

   Blend these ingredients until they transform into a smooth, fragrant paste that will infuse your steaks with incredible flavor.

3. Step 3

   Next, generously coat both sides of the rib-eye steaks with this marinade, ensuring every inch is covered.

4. Step 4

   Once coated, cover the steaks and let them chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.

5. Step 5

   This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making each bite a taste sensation.

6. Step 6

   When you’re ready to grill, fire up your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and give the grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.

7. Step 7

   While the grill heats up, prepare a delightful topping by mixing chopped peanuts, black sesame seeds, sea salt, and crushed black peppercorns in a mixing bowl.

8. Step 8

   This crunchy mixture will add a wonderful texture and flavor to your steaks.

9. Step 9

   After the steaks have marinated, take them out of the fridge and discard any leftover marinade.

10. Step 10

    Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; this step is crucial for achieving a perfect sear.

11. Step 11

    Next, rub each steak with about three-quarters of a teaspoon of the remaining vegetable oil.

12. Step 12

    Now, it’s time to add that tasty peanut mixture! Generously sprinkle it over both sides of each steak, pressing it in gently so it adheres well.

13. Step 13

    Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

14. Step 14

    You’re looking for those beautiful grill marks and a firm yet juicy center.

15. Step 15

    For a perfect medium-rare finish, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).

16. Step 16

    Once they’re done, resist the urge to slice right away! Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes.

17. Step 17

    This resting time is essential as it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is tender and flavorful.
