Equipment
- Large plastic or glass bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 thick-cut ribeye steaks about 5cm (2 inches) thick
- ¼ cup of olive oil
- ¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp of soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp of red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp of brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp of dijon mustard
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- ½ tsp of smoked paprika
- ½ tsp of salt
- ¼ tsp of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large plastic or glass bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil, ¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce, 2 Tbsp of soy sauce, 2 Tbsp of red wine vinegar, 2 Tbsp of brown sugar, 1 Tbsp of dijon mustard, 1 tsp of garlic powder, ½ tsp of smoked paprika, ½ tsp of salt, and ¼ tsp of freshly ground black 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 hotplate or grill 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.
- Cook 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 wood or 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.
