  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2        tablespoons  olive oil
                        coarse salt -- to taste
  4        tablespoons  coarsely-ground black pepper
  4        tablespoons  dry thyme
  4        tablespoons  chopped garlic
  4                rib  steaks on the bone - -- (10 to 12 oz ea)

Preparation:

Combine the oil, salt, pepper, dry thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Using this dry rub to season the beef, brush or rub the steaks with this seasoning mix and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes. Over a hot barbecue grill, or under an oven broiler that has been preheated for at least 20 minutes, cook the steaks on both sides to the desired doneness. Generally, a steak of this size, cooked over a barbecue grill, will be medium-rare within about 8 to 10 minutes (4 minutes on each side) with a blackened exterior and a warm pink interior. Check for doneness by pressing gently with a cautious finger.
