As written I can only give this a 3. Cut the vinegar in half and you have yourself a decent marinade.

Marinade makes the steaks extra tender and extra juicy but for 2 steaks I cut the vinegar down to just under 8oz. Truly i'm not a fan of vinegar and I hate A1 sauce, but even this I love!

Recipes are so dependent on personal tastes. That being said, I am one rib-eye fan who believes that a good rib-eyes needs no marinade. However, this recipe caught my eye so I gave it a shot. You gotta like the taste and aftertaste of the red wine vinegar to enjoy this recipe. I did not care for that flavor, but that's why I started this review the way I did. Any type of vinegar flavor on a good cut of meat is not my favorite. That being said, the rest of the ingredients, coupled with a heavy red wine worked for me the second time around. Most vinegars impart a unique flavor to every dish. This one was too much for me, but that doesn't mean it's bad for another taster. My suggestion is to cut the red wine vinegar at least in half, or one quarter and go from there. Good luck and happy eating.

Instead of the red wine vinegar I used my favorite red wine which I had on hand already and followed the rest of the recipe, me my friend thought it was a big hit and I will use it again. Hope this helps some.

This is actually a really good marinade for rib eyes, but DON'T use all that vinegar and follow the instructions on timing. You really only need enough red wine vinegar to coat the steaks which is about 1/4 the amount (depending on how big they are). I put everything into a zip loc bag and let set in the fridge for an HOUR turning it a couple of times - then disgarded the marinade. Let the steaks come to room temperature and then grill. This way you get a nice hint of vinegar and the other flavors also come through - another big plus is the steaks come out tender and juicy.

Bf didn't like this--he said he could taste too much of the vinegar. I halved the amount of vinegar, but it marinated a very long time and it's pretty much his fault. He was supposed to grill them last night, not tonight, so they were sitting in the marinade for an extra 24 hours. I didn't really taste the vinegar, personally, but I also didn't eat much of it. I'm not a beef person. Still, for all his complaining he finished his meat, so that says something. Thanks for the recipe!

I used this last night. Just bought a new stove and had to try the broiler. Marinade was killer. Have a steak waiting until I get home - that's been soaking all night. Definite keeper...

I made this for my wife and I last night but I used Tawny Port red wine (had some on hand) and we loved it. I'll definitely use it again, probably with red wine again.

We made this recipe because now my husband is in love with steak and he has to have it. lol... but we made this not knowing if we were going to like it because i can not have a lot of vinegar, the first time we made it, it was ok, just too much vinegar for me so we reduced it down and it comes out perfect!!

My husband used this marinade last night on some nice looking rib eye steaks and it absolultely ruined them. WAY too much vinigar - completely overpowered out the flavor of the meat. There are other maninade recipes in here that are quite good. Stay away from this one!
