I agree whole heartedly...I think a marinade kills a ribeye.

Haven't had one lately...have been so hooked on beef chuck eye steaks....alot cheaper and taste even better I think.

And for them I do the same thing...salt and pepper and maybe a little garlic

A chuck eye is the same muscle as the ribeye. It is simply where they quarter the carcass. One side is the rib, the other side is the chuck.
I agree about marinating quality steaks. It is redundant. I do think that Italian dressing is a good general marinade.

For my tastes, a decent ribeye does not need anything except a little salt, pepper and garlic (to taste) sprinkled on just shortly before putting it on the charcoal grill. Some people prefer to let it sit out and get closer to room temperature before cooking, but I don't know if that really makes that much difference.

letting sit at room temp. makes a huge difference. If the center is too cold, you end up burning the outside just to get a medium rare.
