Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Marinade:
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 12 oz each)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 red Thai chilies, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
For the Spicy Thai Chili Sauce:
- 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1. Marinate the Steak:
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and chopped chilies. Pour the marinade over the ribeye steaks in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
2. Prep the Grill:
Remove the steaks from the fridge about 15 minutes before grilling. Let them come to room temperature while you preheat your grill to high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Steaks:
Grill the ribeyes over direct high heat for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness. Let them develop that irresistible sear and smoky crust!
4. Make the Thai Chili Sauce:
While the steaks are cooking, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, chopped chili, and cilantro in a small bowl. This spicy, tangy sauce is the perfect pairing for the charred steak.
5. Rest & Serve:
Once grilled, let the steaks rest for 5 minutes to lock in their juices. Slice against the grain and plate with the spicy Thai sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
Recipe Tips
- No grill? Use a cast iron skillet over high heat for a beautiful sear indoors.
- Adjust chili quantity to your heat preference—Thai chilies pack a punch!
- Serve with sticky rice, grilled veggies, or a crunchy Thai slaw for a complete meal.
