Steak

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prep the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

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

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    In a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  4. 4

    Add Aromatics

    Flip the steak, add crushed garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Prep the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into quarters for even cooking.

  2. 7

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

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

  4. 9

    Serve

    Serve the mashed potatoes alongside the sliced ribeye steak.
