Really Old-Fashioned Marinated Rib-Eye image

This is an ancient Northern Italian preparation. To improve the flavor of the meat, this powerful marinade relied on rich local wine, along with aromatic spices. Start with a relatively thin rib-eye. Marinate for one to three days. (We tried one of these steaks after a 30-minute marinade; it was good, but different. Try longer first.) The cooking should be quick and hot, in a heavy pan, for just about two minutes per side; you might generate a bit of smoke but the cooking time is short enough that it will be tolerable.

1/2 bottle rich, full-bodied red wine, preferably Amarone

6 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 8- to 12-ounce rib-eye steaks, about 1/2-inch thick

  • Combine wine and sugar in a large pot and bring to boil; lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and orange zest, and remove pan from heat to cool.

This recipe is a keeper! The marinade infuses the steak with so much flavor, and the slow cooking method ensures that it's fall-off-the-bone tender. I will definitely be making this again.
