Ingredients
4 ribeye or filet mignon steaks
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Make the marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper until well combined.
Marinate the steaks:
Place steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over them and coat evenly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours, flipping once halfway through.
Bring to room temperature:
Remove steaks from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
Cook the steaks:
Grill or pan-sear the steaks over high heat, cooking to your preferred doneness (about 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness). Rest steaks for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Add a splash of lemon juice for extra brightness.
Swap rosemary for sage or oregano for a twist.
Use with sirloin, NY strip, or flat iron steaks.
