Marinated Ribeye



This is a nice ribeye meal martinated in herbs and fresh garlic. It’s flavorful and easy to prepare. I didn’t find all the fresh spices, so I used bottled spices as a substitute.



Ingredients

• 1 pound beef ribeye, deeply pierced (2 ribeyes, 1.23 pounds)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped (prepared spice)

• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (prepared spice)

• 1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped (prepared spice)

• 2 cloves fresh garlic

• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon black pepper



Directions:

In a large resealable bag, combine beef, herbs and garlic. Marinate in refrigerator at least three hours or overnight. Grill until desired doneness is reached.
