I competed in the SCA cooking ribeyes from 2016-2022 and even managed to finish 8th in the world in 2019. I had a home made marinade, blend of three commercial rubs along with various other things I did to those steaks. But, as God is my witness when I cook steaks at home it's always salt, pepper and garlic. Once in a great while I'll toss a pat of compound butter or a little blue cheese on, but that's it.
