General-Purpose Grilling Marinade

It's still summer y'all! 

I'm plugging along with the heat advisories down here on the Gulf Coast, so no pumpkin or apple or fall-themed recipes here quite yet, much as I'm looking forward to it all after this hot, hot summer.

So... let's talk marinades!

Garlic and Herb Grilled Ribeyes - Ninja Foodi Grill

Beef ribeye steaks, marinated in an olive oil, garlic and herb blend and grilled, shown here with my air-fryer roasted potatoes and quick fix green beans.

Garlic and Herb Grilled Ribeyes

If you've been around this website for any length of time, you know I don't post a lot of steak "recipes," because, well, I prefer ribeyes and while I may change up methods, I really just don't fool around with those much!

Usually just a quick 30-minute marinade in some Dale's, Country Bob's, maybe a little Hoover sauce from The Mississippi Delta, when I have it or most often, just plain ole Worcestershire sauce, and that's about it.

Marinated Grilled Ribeye Steak Sandwich

Inspired by a popular sandwich from a local hole in the wall tavern, this ribeye steak is marinated in a flavorful blend, then grilled, served on pistolette rolls and dressed simply with grilled onion, mayonnaise, lettuce and tomatoes. Serve with chips and a pickle spear.

If you're from Biloxi, you likely know of The Project Lounge, and at some point in your life, you've probably been there too.

Though they moved from their original location near Highway 90 on the beach to a little bit further away near Keesler Gate 7, they have always been known for being a dark and smoky bar, but they are also well known for their hamburgers and steak sandwiches.

Ribeye steak, lightly marinated, then air-fried, combined with a mix of air-fried sweet peppers and onions and served over rice.

Air-Fryer Marinated Ribeye Steak and Peppers

Okay. I'm not gonna lie. When I first thought to do a ribeye steak, my favorite cut of steak, in an air fryer, boy was I leery about it.

I mean a good ribeye steak, besides being my favorite, is not cheap, and I was so fearful of ruining it! When I cook steaks, they are grilled most of the time, whether it's outside or inside on a countertop grill. (I love my Ninja Foodie grill and use it multiple times a week!)

A beef broth, marinated flank steak, with Creole mustard, balsamic vinegar and herbs, prepared in the classic London Broil method, with a quick sear on a hot grill and sliced at an angle, against the grain, for a full-flavored tender steak.

Marinated Flank Steak - London Broil

If you set out to research it, over and over again, you will read that London Broil is not a cut of beef, but instead is a method of grilling and carving. Yet... like this chunk of meat I cooked here, there it sat in the meat case with a label calling it simply, "London Broil" and nothing else.

Really?

A spicy rub of brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, Cajun seasoning, garlic and onion powder, perfect for grilled or pan seared steaks.

Spicy Sugar Steaks

You don't see much on this site about steaks and it's not because we don't eat them - we certainly do.

It's because my favorite steak, hands down, is a rib-eye, and to me they just don't need anything much. A quick dousing of Dale's, Country Bob's, Hoover Sauce from the Delta when I have it or even just plain ole Worcestershire sauce (#affiliate) while it comes to room temperature for the grill, and that's about all I ever do most of the time.
