BBQ Lemongrass Ribeye Steak

A good Asian steak always starts with a great marinade. Don't rush the marinating time. Allow the steak to marinade overnight to develop the flavor.
My family loves Thai-take out. Who doesn't? This Thai-inspired recipe is a perfect dish to satisfy my family’s consistent craving for Thai take-out. Yours family will love it too.
Remember to let the meat rest for about 3 minutes before cutting it. This will allow the moisture to re-absorb and ensure your steak will be tender and juicy.
From brightness of lemongrass and ginger, this Thai-inspired Lemongrass Ribeye Steak pairs beautifully with my homemade coconut rice.
