– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Thai Spiced Rib Eye Steak:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped lemongrass, and red chili flakes. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Steaks: Place the rib eye steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill or Pan: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove Steaks from Marinade: Take the steaks out of the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Cook the Steaks: For grilling, place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. For a skillet, cook the steaks in the hot pan for the same amount of time, flipping once.
6. Rest the Steaks: After cooking, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy steak.
7. Slice and Serve: Cut the steaks against the grain into thin slices. This helps maintain their tenderness.
8. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
