Anyone marinate their ribeye steaks?

Options
I've always just used a dry rub on my ribeyes, however I was thinking about expanding my horizons and marinating them. Thoughts? If you do and have a marinade recipe you are willing to share, that would be awesome.
THANKS!!!

    I don't but give it a shot-then you will have a point of departure for the next time.  That's the beauty of cooking/grilling / hosing it up- as long as you somewhat recall how you got there then the next time is another chance to eggsperiment.  And my hosed it up list is quite lengthy.  FWIW-

    Once upon a time I'd drop all my steaks into Allegro original for 8-24 hours. Still do it occasionally. Make sure you get the surface dry or you'll never get a decent sear.

    I usually only mainate less fatty steaks , like sirloin / strip steaks. The Ribeye has that great flavor that come from the fat and marbling. But heres what I use when i do marinate.
    1/2 c soy sauce
    1/2 c teriyaki sauce
    1/2 c worschesire ( sp ) sauce
    1/2 c wine ( whatever I have on hand )
    1 large onion
    1 whole cluster of garlic.
     I liquify the whole mess in a processor  and strain the liquid out and marinate with it....... for 12 - 24 hours
    More meat please !! :-)

    We made hawaiian ribeyes one year that were pretty good.  All we used was pineapple juice and soy sauce

    I'll occasionally marinate ribeyes in a teriyaki sauce.

    I used to always marinade in Dale's. Still do occasionally. My wife prefers them that way.

    At one time I put Dales on just about everything. Sausage included. After years of doing it, I kind of got burned out on it. I will still hit pork steaks with it from time to time. At one time I thought it was the bomb.

    My youngest son would soak loaf bread in Dales and eat it.

    I can honestly say from about 1985 to somewhere around 1997 we put it on at least one thing daily. I certainly reached the burned out phase. For some reason I still really enjoy it on pork steaks though.

    I am not a marinade fan for the more flavorful cuts like ribeye, a reverse sear with some oak smoke is my preferred method...just a hint of smoke and the meat is always spot on...

    I like to use the old Steak And Ale Kensington Club marinade.

    I really like it. 
    It works on steak or chicken.

    With a less marbled ribeye, I will sometimes marinate them in Italian dressing. Put it in a zip lock bag and in the fridge overnight. Lots of flame up when you cook it but holy moly it comes out with an awesome flavor and very tender. Don't do it with a heavy marbled steak or it might fall apart. I might do it once a year for something different. Great for any kind of steak.

    I grew up with them marinated in soy, Worcestershire, lime juice and garlic.  My parents still do it that way - along with beef tenderloin.

    I mostly use dry seasonings but my wife loves this marinade.
    half cup EVOO
    half cup worcestershire sauce 
    two sprigs of fresh rosemary
    two springs of fresh thyme
    fresh garlic minced, chopped etc.

    I rub the garlic on both sides of the steak and mix the rest in a ziplock bag with the meat for 2-12 hours.
