• Wrap tightly and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
• Heat a gas grill to high, prepare a hot charcoal fire until the coals form white ash, or heat a broiler.
• Grill or broil the steaks 4 to 6 inches above the heat source for 5 to 7 minutes on each side for rare, 7 to 9 minutes for medium, or 9 to 11 minutes for well-done.

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH MEDITERRANEAN MARINADE

Steps:

• In large plastic resealable bag set inside a large bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Add steaks to bag. Press air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn bag several times to distribute marinade, place bag back in bowl, and marinate 30 to 60 minutes.
• Remove steaks from bag and let excess liquid drip off. Discard marinade. Let steaks stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Just before grilling, season both sides of each steak with 1 teaspoon garlic salt.
• With lid closed, grill steaks over direct high heat (500 to 550 degrees) until cooked to desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare, turning once. (If flare-ups occur, move steaks temporarily over indirect high heat.).
• Remove from grill and let rest 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm.

RIB-EYE STEAK RUB

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except oil, in a large bowl. While stirring, add olive till the mixture is a "slushy" consistency. Submerge steaks in mixture, rubbing it into the surface of the steaks. Marinate steaks in mixture for approximately 30 minutes. Preheat grill to 425 to 450 degrees F and place steaks on grill, flipping halfway through. To cook a 16-ounce steak to preferred doneness, cook for: rare, 2 to 3 minutes on each side, medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes on each side and medium, 6 to 7 minutes on each side

GRILLED RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH MEDITERRANEAN RUB

Steps:

• Blend first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Mix in oil to form smooth paste. Rub mixture over steaks. Transfer to baking pan. Cover; chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle steaks with salt. Grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place on cutting board; let stand 4 minutes. Cut steaks into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with salt. Serve with lemon.

DRY-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK RESTAURANT STYLE

Steps:

• Combine all the spices in a bowl. Stir to evenly distribute all the ingredients. If you want to monitor the amount of salt, combine all the spices except the salt in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and stir. Taste the rub and then gradually add more salt to taste.
• Rub the outside of each steak on all sides generously with the rub and store any leftovers in an airtight container. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap two times, and refrigerate up to 24 hours (my preference) or at most 3 days. This makes the steak taste aged.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill until hot. Brush the grill to remove any left over food, then oil the grill. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking and let them come to room temperature. Just before cooking, remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Place the steaks on a very hot grill and char both sides of the steaks, a few minutes per side. When the outsides of the steaks have become well seared, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Remove steaks from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain in slices to the thickness you prefer, up to 1 inch thick. Add the bone to the serving plate if you have folks who will appreciate it. If desired, drizzle the meat with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.
