Description

This Grilled Rib Eye Steak with Ginger Teriyaki Sauce recipe combines the rich, juicy flavors of perfectly grilled rib eye steaks with a vibrant, homemade ginger teriyaki sauce. The sauce, made from a blend of soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, garlic, and brown sugar, adds a sweet and tangy glaze that complements the smoky char from the grill. Ideal for a quick yet impressive dinner, this dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice and a sprinkle of green onions for garnish.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Steaks

  • 2 1LB Boneless Rib Eye Steaks
  • 2 tsp Garlic Salt
  • 2 tsp Ground Black Pepper

For the Ginger Teriyaki Sauce

  • ¼ cup Lite Soy Sauce
  • ⅓ cup Water
  • ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Grated Ginger
  • 3 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Corn Starch
  • 3 tbsp Water (for slurry)


Instructions

  1. Season the Steaks: Pat the rib eye steaks dry and season both sides evenly with garlic salt and ground black pepper to infuse flavor before grilling.
  2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to 450°F and spray the grilling grates with a non-stick grilling spray to prevent the steaks from sticking during cooking.
  3. Grill the Steaks: Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side to achieve a medium-rare to medium doneness, adjusting time slightly depending on thickness. Remove the steaks and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  4. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce Base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the lite soy sauce, water, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, fresh grated ginger, and brown sugar. Stir to mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the corn starch and 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour this into the boiling sauce, stirring constantly, and reduce the heat. Cook for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens to a glaze consistency.
  6. Serve: Pour the thickened ginger teriyaki sauce generously over the grilled steaks. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve with steamed rice as a delicious accompaniment.

Notes

  • Make sure the grill is well-preheated to get a good sear on the steaks.
  • Adjust the grilling time based on your preferred steak doneness and thickness.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute lite soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • Leftover sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
