Steak

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribeye Steak

    Take the ribeye steak out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in cooking the steak evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the ribeye steak with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Steak

    Add the garlic cloves (smashed) to the pan, followed by the ribeye steak. Sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  5. 5

    Flip and Baste

    Flip the steak over and add the butter to the pan. Baste the steak with the melted butter and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into quarters.

  2. 8

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

  3. 9

    Add Garlic

    In the last 5 minutes of boiling, add the garlic cloves to the pot to soften them.

  4. 10

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot. Mash them together until smooth.

  5. 11

    Mix in Butter and Cream

    Add the butter and heavy cream to the mashed potatoes. Stir until well combined and creamy.

  6. 12

    Season the Mashed Potatoes

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix again and serve hot alongside the ribeye steak.
