Y’all, let me tell you about a mouthwatering Texas dinner that’ll have your family fighting over seconds! This isn’t your average weeknight meal – we’re talking about a perfectly seared ribeye steak with jalapeño cream sauce, paired with garlic-smashed red potatoes and Texas-style grilled corn on the cob. Trust me, honey, this recipe will make you the talk of the neighborhood!
Let’s start with the star of the show – that juicy ribeye! Pick a well-marbled, thick-cut steak (about 1.5 inches). I always tell my girlfriends that choosing the right meat is like choosing the right man – you gotta be picky! 😉
For the steak rub, you’ll need:
– 2 tablespoons kosher salt
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
(Mix these babies together and give that steak a good massage!)
For the jalapeño cream sauce:
– 2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 3 cloves minced garlic
– 1/4 cup butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
Y’all loving this so far? There’s plenty more where this came from! Make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance! 💃
Now, let’s get cooking:
1. Let your steak come to room temperature (about 30 minutes) and apply that rub generously.
2. Heat your cast iron skillet until it’s smoking hot (like Texas summer hot!)
3. Sear that beauty for 4-5 minutes each side for medium-rare
4. Let it rest for 10 minutes (patience is a virtue, darling!)
While your steak is resting, make that heavenly sauce:
1. Sauté jalapeños and garlic in butter until soft
2. Pour in heavy cream and simmer until it thickens
3. Season to taste (don’t be shy with that seasoning!)
For those amazing sides:
– Boil red potatoes until tender, smash ’em with garlic butter, and broil until crispy
– Grill corn with chili-lime butter (because plain butter is boring, y’all!)
Sweet peas, this dinner is guaranteed to impress! My husband practically begs for this meal every weekend, and honestly, I can’t blame him!
