Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the stick of unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic cloves and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ribeye Steak

    Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Baste the steaks with the melted garlic butter during the last minute of cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Loaded Mashed Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash. Mix in milk, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Steam the Broccoli

    While the potatoes are boiling, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket for about 5-7 minutes until vibrant green and tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the ribeye steak, topped with garlic butter, alongside a generous serving of loaded mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
