Greek Grilled Ribeye Steaks

Posted for ZWT6 Greek Region. In Greek: Brizoles Mosharisies sta Karvouna. In Greece, butchers use the French style of cutting meat, and ribeyes are cut with the bone in, but boneless ribeyes work equally well. The recipe calls for a traditional beef marinade, and an oil and lemon basting sauce. Whether cooked on the grill or grilled in the oven, this is an easy and delicious dish. Using red drinking wine minimizes the acidity which toughens meat so it is highly recommended NOT to use red wine vinegar or lemon juice as that can create a tougher form of cooked meat.
