Bone in Ribeye, Mashed Potatoes, Caramelized Onions and Roasted Asparagus

I don't have one specific recipe that I used for this - it all really just came together on a whim last weekend. It felt like a really special meal that we were in a fancy restaurant eating such a fancy meal. BUT, we were in the comfort of our own home and  didn't even have to change out of our comfie clothes to enjoy it.

Bone in Ribeye, Mashed Potatoes, Caramelized Onions and Roasted Asparagus

Bone in Ribeye

 

ingredients

• 1 bone in rib eye steak

• Kosher Salt & Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

directions

1.Heat the grill over medium high heat, place a cast iron skillet on the cool side of the grill. Season the steak with S&P on both sides.

2. Sear the steak on each side until browned well and crispy. Once both sides are browned, move the steak to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until it's cooked to the temperature you prefer (this will vary based upon how thick the steak is and the temp of your grill). We cooked ours for about 5-10 minutes.

Mashed Potatoes

 

ingredients

• 5-6 large red potatoes, scrubbed and peeled, chopped into equal size chunks
• fresh parsley & chives, chopped
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 cup milk
• Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1 head roasted garlic

• Kosher Salt & Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400º. Cut top half of a head of garlic off and drizzle the bottom half with EVOO, S&P. Wrap tightly in foil and roast for 45 minutes to an hour. Remove, let cool and squeeze out onto a cutting board. Using the back of a knife, smear the garlic on the board to make a paste. Set aside.

2. Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat, keep warm.

3. Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain, place pot back over low heat and using a masher begin mashing until smooth.

4. Add the milk/butter sauce, S&P to taste, roasted garlic paste, herbs and mix until smooth. You might have to add a touch more milk if they are too dry. Keep warm until ready to serve.
