Rib Eye Steaks in a Ginger and Soy Marinade with Fingerling Potatoes

Rainy Saturday's can be a bit of a drag after a week of nature's best, but I find these are my most productive moments. Picking up that unfinished novel, or filing through those random newspapers and magazines scattered across the coffee table, always leaves me with a bit of personal accomplishment. This mini home and mental clean up has led me to notice that I have WAY too many untouched cookbooks and foodie mags that have been compiling, inherently meaning there will be more test and trials to be shared with you all... but before I get to those, I need to share this mouth watering Rib Eye Steak with a Soy and Ginger Marinade recipe with you.

I cannot begin to describe how exhilarated I am that BBQ season is back. Everything tastes that much better with the grilled charcoal flavor. I picked up a couple rib eye's from Le Biftheque Steakhouse's butcher shop (only because I had a gift card! Or else Loblaws's butcher corner would have been good enough for me!) and threw them in this easy marinade for an overnight soak. Let me tell you, the extra night to marinate is key. This piece of meat surrendered itself to pure tenderness and melted in my mouth. Literally. I guarantee you will enjoy the same results...

xo Dom Appetit!

PS. I served this dish with a side BBQ grilled fingerling potatoes (assortment of red, yellow and purple skinned) ...delish!
