favorite way to prep or marinate rib-eye steaks?

[Anonymous]

with shorter marinade time- like two hours or so.

was thinking of just rubbing salt, garlic, pepper and olive oil,maybe some rosemary. pretty simple,

any other ideas?

Depends on how you're cooking them. We grill our steaks outside, even in the winter, and usually go with a rub for ribeyes. You can make your own, and the one you proposed sounds great, but the stores sell great ones too. Try Virginia Coastal Steak Rub. Alexandria Tea & Spice Co also has tons of options for rubs. I also love Cajun spice on a ribeye. Brush on a little olive oil then sprinkle on the Cajun spice while grilling.

I prob wouldn't bother marinating a ribeye as its a pretty flavorful cut, but if I did I'd go with something simple - maybe olive oil, garlic, a little rosemary.
