Ingredients

For the Ribeye Steak Marinade:

  • 2 Ribeye Steaks Boneless (1 pound each)
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Tequila Barbecue Glaze:

  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tequila
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt

Instructions

For the Ribeye Steak Marinade:

  • Whisk together all ingredients and pour into a large freezer sized bag. Next add Ribeyes and marinade in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours.

For the Tequila Barbecue Glaze:

  • In a small sized pot, add barbecue sauce, tequila, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce over medium heat.
  • Once the mixture begins to bubble, whisk in brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and mix until combined.

How To Grill Ribeye:

  • Remove steaks from marinade and season with salt and ground black pepper. Place steaks on medium grill. Grill steaks for 3-5 minutes on each side depending on level of doneness you prefer and thickness of steaks. Next brush glaze on both sides of each steak and grill an additional minute on each side until glaze caramelizes. Transfer steaks to a plate and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes. Once rested, serve with additional glaze. For more information on grilling visit www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/cooking/grilling.

Notes

  • Before storing, let your ribeye steak come to room temperature. This helps to preserve its texture and taste.
  • Place the steak in an airtight container, or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This step is crucial to prevent air from getting in and drying out the meat.
  • Store the steak in the refrigerator and aim to eat it within 3-4 days for optimal freshness and safety.
  • If you’re not planning to eat the steak in the next few days, you can freeze it instead. Ensure it’s wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn, and it should stay good for up to 3 months.
  • If you have any leftover tequila barbecue glaze, store it in a separate airtight container in the refrigerator. Use it within a week for best results.
