The Classic Standby: Steak and Potatoes and Butter and more Butter

This is my new favorite way to prepare steak. My personal preference is a good Porterhouse, but Ribeye is usually much easier to find on sale and is every bit as tasty. It just takes a little extra prep to make sure that it is melt in your mouth good.

THE PREP:

Preheat oven to 450°

30 minutes before cooking, remove your meat from the refrigerator

Using a kitchen fork or a meat tenderizing fork, puncture the meat 1/2" deep all over the surface

Sprinkle with meat tenderizer

Repeat on other side of meat

Let sit for 30 min. 

Cut 4 new potatoes in half and then in quarters

Peel and chop 3 carrots

Cut 1 head of broccoli

Peel and 2 bulbs of garlic (about 20 cloves) (divided)

Crush garlic cloves with side of knife

add all veggies and half garlic to large bowl add 3 Tbs. olive oil + 2 Tbs dried Thyme

mix to coat

Spread all veggies on cookie sheet and put on top rack of oven. Cook 30 min or until Broccoli begins to brown

COOKING THE MEAT

Preheat your grill on high

Once preheated, sprinkle 1 tsp Kosher salt on both sides of meat

Add to grill

Sear for 3 minutes, turn 45° and place on unused portion of grill to sear another 2 minutes

Flip steak and repeat

While steak is searing, add 1 stick of butter to skillet + remaining cloves of garlic

Put over high heat and add 1 tbs olive oil

When steak is done searing, move directly to skillet and cover

Cook an additional 5-10 minutes depending on doneness desired

Remove meat and allow to rest for 10 minutes

Plate steak and veggies and serve!

I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
