Steak

Mashed Potatoes

Gravy

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Ribeye

    Sprinkle the ribeye steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to bring it to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the ribeye steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform pieces. Boil in salted water for about 15-20 minutes until tender.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

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

Gravy Preparation

  1. 6

    Make a Roux

    In the same skillet used for the steak, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.

  2. 7

    Add Broth

    Slowly whisk in the beef broth, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.
