Ingredients

• 2 pieces (12 oz each) Rib-eye steak
• 1 piece, seeded and finely chopped Scotch bonnet pepper
• 4 cloves, minced Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons, chopped Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon, freshly ground Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 4 stalks, chopped Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Place the rib-eye steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 2

In a food processor or blender, combine the Scotch bonnet pepper, garlic, fresh thyme, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Blend until smooth to create the jerk marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the rib-eye steaks, ensuring they are completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 450°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 6

Grill the steaks over direct heat for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 155°F for medium-well.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a platter and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve hot with chopped green onions sprinkled on top for garnish. Pair with grilled vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
