Potatoes

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, and season them generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned ribeye steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Potato Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the Idaho potatoes thoroughly. Pierce them several times with a fork and wrap each potato in aluminum foil.

  2. 4

    Bake the Potatoes

    Place the wrapped potatoes directly on the grill or in the oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. 5

    Make the Cheddar Topping

    Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully unwrap them. Cut each potato open and fluff the insides with a fork. Add butter, salt, and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the rested ribeye steaks against the grain into strips. Serve the sliced steak alongside the loaded Idaho potatoes, garnished with additional chives if desired.
