Quick and Easy Rib-Eye Steak Marinade

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick and Easy Rib-Eye Steak Marinade.

1. Step 1

   Start by placing your rib-eye steaks in a flat baking dish or container, giving them plenty of room to soak up all that delicious flavor.

2. Step 2

   To help the marinade work its magic, make a few slits around the edges of each steak, spacing them about an inch apart.

3. Step 3

   Then, take a fork and gently pierce both sides of the steaks a few times; this will allow the marinade to penetrate even deeper.

4. Step 4

   Now it’s time to season! Sprinkle a generous amount of salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and Montreal steak seasoning evenly over each steak.

5. Step 5

   Don’t be shy—pat those seasonings into the meat to make sure they stick and infuse every bite with flavor.

6. Step 6

   In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a splash of liquid smoke until everything is well combined.

7. Step 7

   Pour this tantalizing marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated in that savory goodness.

8. Step 8

   Cover the dish with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for about two hours, turning the steaks halfway through to ensure they soak up all the flavors.

9. Step 9

   When you’re ready to grill, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to keep those steaks from sticking.

10. Step 10

    Grill the steaks for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until they reach that perfect medium-rare doneness, which is an internal temperature of 130°F or 54°C.

11. Step 11

    As the steaks sizzle on the grill, you’ll be treated to an irresistible aroma that will have everyone eagerly anticipating dinner.

12. Step 12

    Enjoy your perfectly marinated and grilled rib-eye steaks!.
