Greek Grilled Ribeye Steaks

Submitted by HokiesMom

"Posted for ZWT6 Greek Region. In Greek: Brizoles Mosharisies sta Karvouna. In Greece, butchers use the French style of cutting meat, and ribeyes are cut with the bone in, but boneless ribeyes work equally well. The recipe calls for a traditional beef marinade, and an oil and lemon basting sauce. Whether cooked on the grill or grilled in the oven, this is an easy and delicious dish. Using red drinking wine minimizes the acidity which toughens meat so it is highly recommended NOT to use red wine vinegar or lemon juice as that can create a tougher form of cooked meat."

I marinated my steaks for three hours. While the flavor was good, the next time I will let them set longer in the marinade as we would have liked more of the flavor to come through.

Yummy steak! I marinated it for about 3 hours and then grilled it on my stovetop grill pan. So simple and tasty. I really enjoyed the hint of lemon. Thanks Hokies for a nice dinner. Made for Went To The Market Tag.

Made a delightful steak. The lemon seemed a little strong to me so may omit zest next time.

I made the marinade for a large steak for the 3 of us. I omitted the salt. DH was ready to do the bbq and when I remembered he had to baste with the olive oil and zest, it was too late. The steak was already on the bbq. I'll probably try it again. It was very yummy. It gave the steak a nice flavor. Thanks Melissa :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWT
