In Greek: μπριζόλες μοσχαρίσιες, pronounced bree-ZO-les mos-hah-REE-seeyes (singular: brizola, plural: brizoles)
In Greece, butchers use the French style of cutting meat, and ribeyes are cut with the bone in, but boneless ribeyes work equally well. The recipe calls for a traditional beef marinade, and an oil and lemon basting sauce. Whether cooked on the grill or grilled in the oven, this is an easy and delicious dish.
