Ingredients
-
2 Ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick
-
⅓ Cup Neapolitan Herb Balsamic
-
¼ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-
1 Tsp. Each black pepper and sea salt
-
1 Bunch flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
-
1 Tbsp. fresh mint, finely chopped
-
1 Lemon, zested and juice from ½ lemon
-
2 Garlic cloves, minced
-
1 Tsp. Sea salt
Gremolata
Directions
In a bowl, whisk together the Neapolitan Herb Balsamic, EVOO, pepper, and sea salt until well mixed. Place the steaks in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they're evenly coated on all sides. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
While the steaks are marinating, mix together chopped parsley, mint, garlic, salt, lemon zest and juice. Throughly mix to combine and set aside.
Preheat your grill to a high temperature for searing the steaks. Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting the excess drip off and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the steaks for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting as necessary for how you want them done.
Transfer the grilled steaks to a plate or cutting board, tent with foil, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
Slice the steaks and serve with a generous amount of gremolata.

Recipe Note
The stronger flavours of the gremolata means you can go with a medium or robust extra virgin olive oil varietal in the marinade, as the oil's flavour profile won't overwhelm the dish. We love a Nocellara, Picual, Cobrançosa, or Kalamata for this recipe.
Wow! This looks so delicious and vibrant; and a great alternative to a pesto or chimichurri sauce. Can’t wait to give it a try!
