Here’s a classic, hearty recipe for Ribeye Steak with Onions and Mashed Potatoes — rich, flavorful, and perfect for a comforting dinner:
🥩 Ribeye Steak with Onions and Mashed Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
Steak
- 2 ribeye steaks (8–10 oz each), room temperature
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
Mashed Potatoes
- 2 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 tbsp butter
- ½ cup milk (adjust for desired creaminess)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Optional: 2 tbsp sour cream or cream cheese for extra richness
🔪 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare Mashed Potatoes
- Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (~15–20 minutes).
- Drain and return to pot.
- Mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper (and sour cream or cream cheese if using).
- Keep warm until serving.
2️⃣ Cook Ribeye Steak
- Season steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear steaks 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness and desired doneness).
- Optional: Add garlic to pan for extra flavor while searing.
- Remove steaks and let rest 5 minutes to retain juices.
3️⃣ Cook Onions
- In the same skillet, add a little more butter or oil if needed.
- Sauté sliced onions over medium heat until caramelized (~8–10 minutes).
- Stir occasionally and season lightly with salt and pepper.
4️⃣ Serve
- Plate steaks with caramelized onions on top.
- Serve with a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on the side.
- Optional: drizzle pan juices or a simple pan sauce over steak for extra flavor.
🌟 Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing steaks to get a good crust.
- Rest steaks before slicing to keep them juicy.
- Mashed potato variations: Add roasted garlic, fresh herbs, or cheese for extra richness.
- Onion caramelization: Low and slow is key for sweet, golden onions.
