I need a Marinade

There is a 1.1lb Ribeye in my fridge right now. It's been sitting there for a day, I've been eye-balling it.

Nobody has claimed their "steak" on this chunk of delicious-ness. So I am going to marinade and inhale this sucker.

I normally don't "taint" meat with marinades. I like raw beef flavor. Total cannibal here. Rare and juicy, give me the blood flavor. But in this case I'm willing to make an exception. Give me some ideas.

The only marinade I've tried is the recipe that comes on the side of montreal steak seasoning from McCormick.

Ready set Go!
 
You do not marinate a ribeye.

Well, okay. I will 99.9% agree with you on this one, especially being the meat eater I am. However, A-1 steak sauce as an example, humor me.

I eat meat raw. Or damn near. I am a god damn cow murdering glutton. However, my wife ocassionally eats her steaks with A-1. Now, I am totally against this, it takes away from the "murder" taste of the beef. But, I have been slowly been corrupted into liking this flavor.

So, here I am, working night shift, and I have a 1.1lb piece of already-dead-cow in my fridge. I need to marinate it, in my opinon, so I am asking for a marinade recipe.

If you can provide me with an alternate-source-of-orgasmic-awesomeness, then please do.

Yes I agree the beef is outstanding-tastic the way it is....but, fuck it. It's friday. Also YOLO.
 
I still don't get the "need" part. Trust your initial instincts and do what God and nature intended and tear into that thing while its heart is still beating.

So you're listening to the 0.1% of you that disagrees with him and thinks you need to marinate that ribeye. Is that about right?

You know I normally agree with my night-shift brethran, but god damn! Just give me a fucking recipe for marinade!

I mean is that hard!

Also 3AM <3
 
  1. Season the steaks with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and set aside.
  2. Pour the Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar into a large resealable plastic bag, seal, and shake to mix. Pour half of the marinade into another large resealable bag. ...
  3. Preheat grill for high heat.
May Allyourribeyebelongtousah forgive me.

Apparently, there are others who have gone before you and sinned against all that is holy. (I think he's right... add a little brown sugar.)

OH....MY....GOODNESS!!!!!
Soak a rib eye in this juice for about 5 hours, and DANG! Best steak that's ever graced my table! My wife, who DOESN'T LIKE STEAK, pounded a 16 oz. after tasting mine. Rich flavor, wonderful tenderizing, slight carmalization...what more can you ask for? Without a doubt the best ever. I've made this for approx 40 different people now, and literally each one has said that it's one of the best steaks that they have eaten. I've also added a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar at times to add a little sweetness and aid the caramelizing. Top your hot steak with a pat of Blue Cheese Butter (softened butter whipped w/blue cheese crumbles & then refrigerated) and you'll swear you've died. I'm making steaks again right now!
 
My favorite marinade, 1 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and one onion sliced into half rings. Something soft like a ribeye would be good to go in 30-60 minutes. Tougher cuts like sirloin, say 3-4 hours, and flank/skirt steak overnight.
 
1. WTF is wrong with you?
2. You don't need to do anything.
3. Your wife has terrible taste.
4. Never let your wife corrupt you.
5. Never make decisions while stupid.
6. You are being stupid right now.
7. When stupid, follow directions of those that aren't stupid.
8. As all the non-stupids have correctly pointed out, only put salt and pepper on rib eye.

It's like the fall of gondor.. God help us all..

That point is correct for all cuts of beef. Prime rib tastes good with some fresh herbs as well, but it's useless putting other secondary spices/rubs on beef when the meat itself overpowers the taste. (Or in my case, the charcoal/smoke flavor)

This is like asking which chainsaw is best for keeping moths out of your toothpaste. Everyone knows you use a hedge trimmer for that.
