Substitution
Arby's Steakhouse Garlic Ribeye from the copycat menu boasts a tender 12 oz ribeye grilled with a blend of garlic spices and herbs for a rich, savory flavor. If ribeye is unavailable, you can substitute with a similar marbled steak like New York strip or sirloin, adjusting cooking time to maintain juiciness. Fresh garlic enhances the bold taste, but garlic powder alone works well when pressed for time or resources. Using a meat thermometer ensures optimal doneness; aim for 130-135degF for medium-rare to medium steak. Your olive oil can be replaced with avocado oil for a higher smoke point if preferred during grilling or searing.
Tips
Ensure your ribeye steak is at room temperature before cooking to promote even heat distribution and better searing. Using a meat thermometer is crucial to achieve your preferred doneness and avoid overcooking, especially for thicker cuts. Letting the steak rest for at least 5 minutes allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender bite. When slicing, cut against the grain to maximize tenderness and enhance your dining experience.
Nutritions
Arby's Steakhouse Garlic Ribeye packs approximately 680 calories, 52 grams of protein, and 50 grams of fat per 12-ounce serving, making it a rich source of protein and essential amino acids vital for muscle repair and growth. The steak is high in saturated fats and cholesterol, so consuming it in moderation supports heart health while providing iron and zinc necessary for immune function and oxygen transport. Garlic and herbs add minimal calories but contribute antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that complement the nutritional profile. Your meal provides a satisfying balance of macronutrients, making it a hearty choice for those seeking protein-dense foods.
Storage
Store leftover Arby's Steakhouse Garlic Ribeye wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or an airtight container to maintain its juiciness and flavor. Refrigerate within two hours of cooking and consume within 3 to 4 days for optimal freshness and safety. When reheating, use a low temperature setting or a grill to preserve the steak's tenderness and seasoning profile for your best dining experience.
Variation or Alternatives
You can enhance the flavor by substituting the ribeye with a New York strip or filet mignon, both known for their tenderness and rich taste. Try marinating the steak in a mixture of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic for 30 minutes before grilling to deepen the savory profile. Using a cast-iron skillet instead of a grill allows for better control of heat and a perfect sear when finishing the steak with butter and herbs. Consider topping the cooked steak with sauteed mushrooms or caramelized onions to add a layer of sweetness and umami.
Allergies
Arby's Steakhouse Garlic Ribeye contains garlic and onion, which can trigger allergies or sensitivities in some individuals. The steak is cooked with olive oil and butter, both of which are common allergens for those with dairy or olive allergies. Be sure to check ingredient labels and consult with a healthcare provider if you have known allergies to herbs or spices like thyme, rosemary, or paprika to ensure your meal is safe.
