Calories 561 kcal

Ingredients

2 thick-cut ribeye steaks about 5cm (2 inches) thick
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place the steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavour penetration.
Preheat your barbecue to medium-high heat.
Once hot, oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.
Discard any remaining marinade.
Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
For a medium-rare steak, an internal temperature of 57°C (135°F) is recommended.
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavourful steak.

Notes

Tips:

For a truly authentic Aussie flavour, use a charcoal barbecue.
The smoky charcoal imparts a unique flavour that complements the beef perfectly.
If you don't have a charcoal barbecue, you can still achieve great results with a gas grill.
Just make sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat and Sear the steaks for a few minutes per side to create a nice char.
Don't overcook the steak!
Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your desired doneness.
An overcooked steak will be dry and tough.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve your barbecued beef steak with a side of your favourite vegetables, such as roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a simple salad.
For a classic Aussie accompaniment, pair your steak with a dollop of tomato sauce and caramelised onion.
If you're feeling adventurous, try topping your steak with a fried egg or a drizzle of chimichurri sauce.

Conclusion:

Whether you're an experienced griller or a novice in the kitchen, this Aussie-style barbecued beef steak recipe is sure to become a new favourite.
With its simple yet flavourful marinade and perfectly grilled steak, this dish is guaranteed to impress your family and friends.
So fire up the barbie, gather your ingredients, and get ready to embark on a culinary adventure to the land of Oz.
