My steaks dry out about 4/5 minutes into eating them...

have had this problem the last two times I grilled...
ribeyes, marinated in my fave marinade.
put steaks on searing grill...minimum one thick...cook first side 6 mins, flip second side 3 mins for med rare...
usually this gives me my perfect med rare ribeye which I love.
my suspected problem is the steaks were still too cold when I put them on. (not room temp)
the first bite and 1/2 way thru are amazing, but it gets tough and dry after 5 mins
what am I doing wrong?

Sounds like you need to let them rest after cooking, before eating.
The room temp thing has nothing to do with it, if you're happy with the done-ness of your steak.
Or, there's something whack in your marinade.

You do realize that marinade does nothing for your steaks juicyness right?

6 minutes on one side is way too long. For rare/medium rare try 3 minutes on 1 side and 2 minutes on second side. That's if the grill is fairly hot.

Buy prime or find some better marbled choice. Make sure they are cut 1.5 to 2 in thick. SV if you want but I prefer reverse sear. Both can make a great steak. Most important variable to me is the grade. Prime just taste better no SV can make up for low quality steak.

Let the meat come up to room temp before you grill em

I'm with the others. You need to let it rest for a bit before even thinking about cutting into it. For this reason too, take it off before you think it's done because it will keep cooking while resting.
Also, perhaps your marinade contains salt, which will draw moisture out of your meat. Unless you're cooking Asian, perhaps skip the marinade and stick to simple salt, pepper, butter, herbs.

What temp are you saying is mid rare?
Also- I agree on the resting piece.

Turn your heat up to begin with. 6 min is way too long.
I put the grill on high.
