Steak

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Add the seasoned ribeye steaks to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, until a nice crust forms.

  5. 5

    Add Butter and Garlic

    Flip the steaks and add butter, crushed garlic cloves, and rosemary to the pan. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.

  2. 8

    Boil the Potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 9

    Cook the Garlic

    In the last 5 minutes of boiling, add the garlic cloves to the pot with the potatoes.

  4. 10

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and garlic. Return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  5. 11

    Serve

    Serve the garlic mashed potatoes alongside the rested ribeye steak.
