1
Season the Steak
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the steaks. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
2
Cook the Steak
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the steaks on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness.

3
Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and set aside.
4
Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Add the peeled garlic cloves and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5
Blend the Sauce
Transfer the sautéed garlic and oil to a blender. Add lemon juice, fresh parsley, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

6
Serve the Steak
Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with a generous drizzle of mojo de ajo sauce on top.
