Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about a dish that’ll make your taste buds dance and your dinner guests beg for the recipe! Today, I’m sharing my absolute favorite Pan-Seared Ribeye Steak with Garlic Butter Mushrooms and Truffle Mashed Potatoes. Trust me, this isn’t your average meat-and-potatoes meal – it’s pure culinary magic! 💃
Y’all, I’ve served this at countless dinner parties, and every single time, my guests practically lick their plates clean (no judgment here – I’ve done it myself when no one’s looking! 😉).
Let’s get cooking, shall we?
For the star of the show (serves 4):
– 4 ribeye steaks (1.5 inches thick)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
– 4 garlic cloves, crushed
– Fresh thyme sprigs
– 4 tablespoons butter
For those heavenly mushrooms:
– 16 oz mixed mushrooms (baby bella, shiitake, oyster)
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/4 cup white wine
– Fresh parsley
For the to-die-for mashed potatoes:
– 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 6 tablespoons butter
– 2 teaspoons truffle oil
– Salt and white pepper
(Quick pause! If you’re loving this recipe already, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily recipes that’ll make your family think you secretly attended culinary school! 😘)
Now, let’s make the magic happen:
1. First, pat those steaks dry (like, really dry) and season generously with salt and pepper. Let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes – patience is a virtue, darling!
1. For the potatoes: Peel, cube, and boil until fork-tender (about 20 minutes). While they’re cooking, warm your cream and butter together.
1. Here’s the fun part! Heat that olive oil in a cast-iron skillet until it’s smoking hot (like your summer crush 🔥). Sear those steaks 4-5 minutes each side for medium-rare. Add butter, garlic, and thyme for the last 2 minutes, basting the steaks like they’re royalty.
1. Remove steaks to rest (they need their beauty sleep too!). In the same pan, make those mushrooms! Sauté them in butter until golden, add garlic, splash of wine, and let it reduce to perfection.
1. Mash those potatoes with the warm cream mixture, fold in the truffle oil (this is where the magic happens!), and season to taste.
Plate it up by placing a generous scoop of those dreamy potatoes, lay that perfectly cooked steak on top, and crown it with those wine-kissed mushrooms. Garnish with fresh thyme and parsley because we’re fancy like that! 💁♀️
Pro tip: Want to really impress? Open your windows before searing the steak – unless you want your smoke detector to join in on the dinner conversation! Been there, done that, honey!
This dish pairs beautifully with a bold red wine, or if you’re like me after a long day of cooking, whatever’s open in the fridge works too! 🍷
