Method

Preparing the Ribeye

  1. 1

    Season the Ribeye

    Generously season the 14 oz. prime boneless ribeye with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Wood-Fired Grill

    Prepare the wood-fired grill by igniting the wood and letting it reach a temperature of about 500°F (260°C). Aim for a good sear on the ribeye.

  3. 3

    Grill the Ribeye

    Place the seasoned ribeye on the grill and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.

  4. 4

    Rest the Ribeye

    Once cooked to your preference, remove the ribeye from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Making Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 4 tbs of butter and 1 cup of heavy cream. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Grilling the Vegetables

  1. 7

    Prep the Vegetables

    Slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion into even pieces. This ensures they cook evenly on the grill.

  2. 8

    Season the Vegetables

    In a bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with 2 tbs of olive oil, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.5 tsp of black pepper until well coated.

  3. 9

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they have nice grill marks and are tender.
