Y’all, let me tell you about a mouth-watering Texas dinner that’ll have your family fighting over seconds! This recipe has been passed down in my family, and honey, it’s about to become your new favorite too.
Picture this: Smoky Hill Country Ribeye Steak with Jalapeño Cream Sauce, served alongside Texas-style loaded mashed potatoes and honey-glazed roasted pecans. Are you drooling yet? Because I sure am!
Let’s start with our star of the show – that gorgeous ribeye. You’ll need:
– 2 thick-cut ribeye steaks (about 1.5 inches thick)
– 4 tablespoons of Texas olive oil (yes, we make that here!)
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– Fresh rosemary and thyme
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– A whole lotta love!
For that heavenly jalapeño cream sauce (trust me, you’ll want to put this on everything):
– 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 3 tablespoons butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
Y’all, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily doses of Texas-sized deliciousness! Now, let’s get cooking!
First, let those steaks come to room temperature – about 30 minutes should do it. Meanwhile, heat up your cast-iron skillet (because that’s how we do it in Texas). Season those bad boys generously with salt and pepper, and rub them with garlic and herbs.
Here’s my secret tip: brush the steaks with a tiny bit of honey before searing. Don’t tell my mama I told you that! 😉
Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. While your steaks are resting (and don’t you dare skip this step!), let’s make that sauce. Sauté those jalapeños and garlic in butter until fragrant, then add the cream and let it simmer until it thickens. Season to taste, and try not to eat it all with a spoon!
Serve this beauty with those loaded mashed potatoes (you know, the ones with all the cheese, bacon, and chives), and sprinkle those honey-glazed pecans on top for an extra special touch.
Listen, sugar – if your family doesn’t crown you queen (or king) of the kitchen after this meal, they’re crazy! And remember, cooking is all about having fun and adding your own flair. Don’t be afraid to adjust the heat levels or try different herbs.
