_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gents, let me tell you about a dinner recipe that’ll have your family thinking you secretly enrolled in culinary school! This Pan-Seared Ribeye with Garlic Butter Mushrooms and Truffle Mashed Potatoes is about to become your new go-to when you want to feel fancy without breaking the bank.
Trust me, honey, I’ve made this countless times, and it never fails to impress – even my mother-in-law had to admit it was better than her cooking (and that’s saying something! 😉).
Let’s get cooking, shall we?
For the star of the show (serves 4):
– 4 ribeye steaks, about 1-inch thick
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
– 8 tablespoons butter (yes, that much – we’re not counting calories today!)
– 6 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
– Fresh thyme
For those heavenly mashed potatoes:
– 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 6 tablespoons butter
– 2 teaspoons truffle oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Now, here’s what you’re gonna do (and yes, you’ve got this!):
1. Let those steaks come to room temperature (about 30 minutes). Pat them dry with paper towels like they’re precious gems.
1. Meanwhile, get those potatoes boiling in salted water. They’ll need about 20-25 minutes to get tender.
1. Season your steaks generously with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy – this isn’t the time to watch your sodium intake!
1. Heat that olive oil in a cast-iron skillet until it’s smoking hot. Trust me, if it’s not hot enough, you won’t get that gorgeous crust we’re after.

1. Sear those babies for 4-5 minutes each side for medium-rare. Remove and let them rest (they’ve been through a lot!).
1. In the same pan, add butter and mushrooms. Once they’re golden, add garlic and thyme. Cook until fragrant and heavenly.
1. For the potatoes, drain and return to pot. Add cream, butter, and truffle oil. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season to taste.
Plate it all up, drizzle those mushrooms and that gorgeous butter sauce over your steak, and serve with the truffled mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh thyme if you’re feeling extra fancy (and why wouldn’t you be?).
Let me tell you, this dish has gotten me more marriage proposals than I care to count! 😂 The combination of perfectly cooked steak, garlicky mushrooms, and those decadent potatoes is absolutely irresistible.
