Cook the Book: Marinated Ribeye Steaks

Book CoverMen love meat. Particularly steaks. Especially grilled ones. This Father's Day, why not skip the fancy restaurant dinner and prepare your dad Marinated Ribeye Steaks instead?

While ribeyes are more expensive than many other cuts of beef, they are well worth the extra cost, as the meat is especially juicy, tender, and marbled (fatty). According to Robert St. John, author of this week's Cook the Book selection, New South Grilling, ribeyes are also "the easiest and best of the typical steak cuts to marinate" because they readily absorb and hold so much flavor.

St. John's recipe uses a mixture of wet and dry ingredients for the marinade, including soy sauce, ginger, paprika, and liquid smoke. The results are incredibly savory, spicy, and succulent.

Serve the ribeye with your dad's favorite potatoes.
