Steak

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

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

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Add the seasoned ribeye steaks to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.

  4. 4

    Flip and Add Flavor

    Flip the steaks and add the butter, garlic cloves (smashed), and fresh rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting the steaks with the melted butter.

  5. 5

    Check Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for your desired doneness (medium-rare: 130°F, medium: 140°F). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  2. 7

    Drain and Mash

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

Serve

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the ribeye steak on a plate alongside a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Optionally, drizzle some of the pan juices over the steak for added flavor.
