In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and lemon juice. Whisk together until well combined to create the marinade.
Place the ribeye steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Discard the marinade.
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the grill grates or skillet are well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the steaks on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the timing to your preferred level of doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for medium-well.
Remove the steaks from the grill or skillet and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the steaks hot, garnished with an optional sprig of rosemary or a wedge of lemon for added freshness. Pair with roasted vegetables or a side of potatoes for a complete meal.
