Ribeye Steak Marinade
Description
This marinade incorporates salty soy and Worcestershire sauces with the pungency of Dijon mustard and Brazilian sofrito or minced garlic, plus dried oregano, creating a layered umami profile. The ribeye steaks are seasoned with salt and pepper first, then soaked in the marinade from 15 minutes up to an hour to absorb flavors without overpowering the beef's inherent richness.
After marinating, the steaks are patted dry to achieve a good sear, then cooked either over a hot grill or in a preheated cast iron skillet. High heat develops a browned crust while preserving the interior's tenderness. Once cooked, the steaks rest briefly and are topped with butter and fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to add aroma and a finishing richness.
This preparation highlights the quality ribeye cut’s marbling and flavor while boosting it with a balanced savory marinade and classic finishing touches.

Instructions
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper, on both sides, and set aside.
- In a small bowl or meauring cup, mix in the soy, the Worcestershire, the oregano, the mustard and the garlic.
- Add the steaks and the marinade to a gallon-sized plastic bag. Marinate on the counter for at least 15 minutes, to no longer than an hour.
- When the steaks are done marinating, remove them from the ziplock bag and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Either grill them, or cook them on a hot skillet on stovetop to the desired doneness.
Grilling:
- Heat your grill to high, and brush the steaks with the oil. Place the steaks on the grill and grill them on both sides until desired doneness (see chart above). Remove the steaks from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest 5 minutes before cutting. Top the steaks with butter, sprinkle some finishing salt and fresh herbs for serving.
Pan Frying:
- Heat a large 12inch cast iron skillet, until it starts to "smoke." Add the oil, and then the steaks and let them sear until enough of the crust has formed and the steaks no longer sticks to the pan. Flip and repeat and cook to desired doneness (see chart above). Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let them rest 5 minutes before cutting. Top the steaks with butter, sprinkle some finishing salt and fresh herbs for serving.
