Grilled Rib Eye with Paprika Vinaigrette

This grilled rib-eye with paprika vinaigrette is a sophisticated yet simple way to elevate a classic cut of beef. The recipe focuses on building layers of flavour, starting with a homemade infused oil that transforms into a piquant, herbaceous dressing. By using capers and red wine vinegar, you gain a sharp, savoury contrast to the rich, marbled beef, ensuring every bite is perfectly balanced. The addition of a smoky piment d'Espelette crust provides a beautiful caramelised finish that looks as good as it tastes.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this dish provides a high-protein, satisfying main that avoids heavy, sugary sauces. The focus on healthy fats from the vegetable oil and fresh aromatics makes it a nutritious choice for a weekend gathering or a special summer dinner. Serve the sliced steak alongside a crisp green salad or roasted Mediterranean vegetables for a complete, wholesome meal that doesn't compromise on gourmet quality.

Ingredients for Grilled Rib Eye with Paprika Vinaigrette

  • 120ml vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons paprika

  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped

  • 80ml coarsely chopped capers

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • Kosher salt

  • 60g bone-in beef rib eyes (about 2" thick)

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • Kosher salt

  • Freshly ground pepper

  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons piment d'Espelette or hot paprika

  • Cheesecloth

How to make Grilled Rib Eye with Paprika Vinaigrette

Heat oil and paprika in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling pan occasionally, until warm, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until oil is cool and turns dark red, 1–1 1/2 hours.

Strain paprika oil through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a small bowl. Mix in shallot, capers, parsley, vinegar, and red pepper flakes; season with salt.

Let steaks stand at room temperature 1 hour before grilling.

Prepare grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on 1 side of grill; for a gas grill, leave 1 or 2 burners off).

Rub steaks with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook steaks over direct heat, moving to a cooler area if flare-up occurs, until charred, about 4 minutes per side. Using tongs, hold steaks vertically to sear edges (bone side and fat-cap side) and render some fat, about 2 minutes per side. Grill steaks over indirect heat, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre registers 125° for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest 10-15 minutes. (Keep charcoal grill hot.)

Mix brown sugar and piment d'Espelette in a small bowl. Sprinkle over steaks and grill over direct heat until sugar is caramelized, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Serve with vinaigrette.
