Most often times I do not know that I'm grilling steaks until she produces
the fridge bag with both steaks soaking inside it. She has agreed to try
other marinades and I'm still looking. She has dictated that it cannot have
liquid smoke (agreed) and it cannot be high in salt (agreed). She further
recommended that I get the chef at a local restaurant, that serves a steak
to her liking, to clue me in on his technnique (not likely to be
successful). So until I find it I am doomed to pleading that she leave mine
alone in exchange for not disparaging her choice. I'm still open to any
marinade recipes or suggested techniques for using the smoker- which I love
to use. Thanks.

I just finished a fair ribeye for supper that I grilled after marinating
in italian dressing. SWMBO just loves italian dressing and won't eat
steak at home any other way. I on the other hand loathe the stuff as a
marinade.
I tend to agree with the folks who feel no marinade is needed on a good
steak.

But that leaves you without a good option. Here's one. Why not cook two
steaks. One with marinade for SWMBO, and one done the way you prefer.

You can hold your nose as you cook hers. You're happy, she's happy,
everybody's happy.
