Memorial Day is just around the corner, and I’m ready to grill all things! With Chicago finally getting the message on warmer weather, I simply can’t resist getting outside to enjoy it while it lasts. Each year, my entire family loves to get together and grill. With so many of us, it can be difficult to determine what to make. We all have our unique tastes. To satisfy everyone, I begin masterminding new grill recipes filled with tons of flavor like this carne asada recipe or this marinated skirt steak recipe.
How To Cook Steak on the Grill
Beef is one of my all-time favorite proteins so I love thinking of exciting ways to make it new and fresh for my family. Not only is it incredibly delicious, it’s nutrient-rich and raised with care and dedication by America’s farmers and ranchers.
When you start with high-quality protein, like beef, you are guaranteed incredible results.
How to Make the Best Ribeye Steak Marinade
This Grilled Ribeye with Tequila Barbecue Glaze is perfection. The flavors are sensational and build on layers and layers of ingredients.
The recipe starts with a flavor building marinade. Packed with everything from soy sauce to brown sugar, the sweetness really gets its edge here. After letting the marinade do its magic, it imparts a tangy luscious essence to the beef.
How To Grill Ribeye Steak
I opted to grill this steak, and while it tastes amazing on the grill during the summer, you can skillet cook or broil it and get just as much deliciousness anytime of the year. To determine the doneness of your Ribeye, insert an instant-read thermometer horizontally into the side of the steak. Remember to place the thermometer into the thickest part of the beef. It should not touch any bones, fat or the grill itself.
Adding More Flavor to this Grilled Ribeye Steak Recipe
All that’s left is to add on a seasonal flare, like this Tequila BBQ Glaze, to guarantee that everyone will want a cut of delicious steak on their table this summer. The dark brown sugar specifically adds a stronger molasses flavor than the typical light brown sugar; its caramel undertones when added to your favorite barbecue sauce are to die for. To balance out the sweetness, I added the depth of a unique tequila flavor. Tequila really shines with all of these ingredients giving the sauce its own personality.
The tender, succulent grilled ribeye is the perfect match to stand up to these bold flavors. The final product is rich with decadent summer inspired taste! I’m pretty sure everyone at my family cookout will get a kick out of this recipe this year (if it isn’t grilling season, feel free to check out this post on how to sear the perfect steak instead).

Wonderful recipe
My husband is a hardcore carnivore… meat with every meal.. Ribeyes are his favorite steak. I made this for Sunday dinner. It was a total hit. The glaze was awesome. There were no leftovers, so I had to promise to make it again within the week.
Huge hit with the family! Addictive flavours
Will definitely make this steak again!
Oh my gosh!! This is delicious! Made it for Father’s Day 2020. The marinade adds so much flavor to the steak and the glaze. THE GLAZE!! The steak was fabulous hot off the grill and just as fabulous, eaten cold as leftovers the next day (but seriously, don’t ask me how there were even any leftovers! Definitely my lucky day!) Listen, I see you there on the fence thinking about what to make for dinner. Get off the fence now and go make this! LOL
This glaze is INCREDIBLE! We did the steaks with a sous vide, added some sauce when we seared, and poured the rest over the top when it was served, it turned out perfect!!
