It’s December, it’s 50 Degrees…FIRE UP THE GRILL!  Truth is we grill year round but with unseasonably warm temperatures (praying for our environment) and no snow our grill is getting quite the workout this winter. I love grilling because nothing tastes better than meat cooked on an open flame.  And the lack of dishes, bonus.  Grilling is also awesome because no added fat is need for cooking.  A little rub and a little love, the perfect steak awaits.  Rib-eyes are the perfect steak for the grill with great marbling that makes for a flavorful, moist, and melt in your mouth cut of beef.

This quick and easy rib-eye steak recipe would be perfect for a New Year’s Eve dinner. You can also use other cuts of meat good not the grill like sirloin or tenderloin. The onions add a nice tang to the rich cut of meat.  If you don’t have a grill you could also prepare you meat in a broiler or a hot grill pan.

Recipe Notes

Calories will vary depending on the size of the steak. A 4 oz steak typically has 350 calories with 1/4 of the onions served with it.

This recipes easy to make but here are my tips for easy cooking:

1. Use fresh herbs. They are less intense in flavor and more aerobatic.  
2. Keep herb on stem and garlic whole.  You will remove them before serving. 
3. Make sure your grill is hot to sear the meat.  Once the meat is on the grill do not move it until you are ready to flip it.  The meat forms a crust and this will ensure your meat does not stick to the grill and will also help the meat retain its juices.  Additionally, make sure to rest your meat so it does not lose juice when you cut into it.  

Enjoy!
