Flavorful Gordon Ramsay Steak Marinade Recipe
I have to tell you, after trying this steak marinade recipe, I feel like I’ve unlocked the secret to restaurant-quality steak at home. Seriously, Gordon Ramsay knows exactly how to bring out the best in a cut of meat.
Ingredients
- Ribeye steaks or preferred cut
- Garlic
- Fresh rosemary
- Fresh thyme
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Dijon mustard
- Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Grab a bowl, and whisk together minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. The aroma alone will get your mouth watering!
- Place your ribeye steaks in a shallow dish or ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then pop it into the fridge. Ideally, marinate for at least 30 minutes, but if you’ve got more time, 2–4 hours or even overnight will make the flavors really sing.
- About 30 minutes before you’re ready to cook, take the steaks out of the fridge. Allowing them to come to room temperature ensures even cooking.
- Preheat your grill to high heat or get a skillet smoking hot on the stovetop. Brush the grates with a little oil to keep the meat from sticking. Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and season with a touch of salt and pepper.
- Grill or sear the steaks for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to get it just right. 🥩
- Once cooked, take the steaks off the heat and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices. Finally, slice against the grain, drizzle with juices or leftover marinade, and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure your ingredients, especially the meat, are fresh for the best results.
- Don’t skip bringing the steaks to room temperature; it’s a small step that makes a big difference.
- Try not to over-marinate as the acid in vinegar could start to “cook” the meat.
