Ingredients
For the Steak:
- 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks
- Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- Optional: fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs
For the Baked Potatoes:
- 2 large russet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley
For the Green Beans:
- 8 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
- Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Fluffy Baked Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes clean, then pat dry. Rub each one with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
- Pierce with a fork and place directly on the oven rack. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until fork-tender.
- Slice open, fluff with a fork, and top with sour cream, bacon crumbles, and chopped herbs.
Step 2: Perfectly Grilled Steak
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet or grill pan over high heat.
- Add steaks and sear for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- In the final minute of cooking, add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and herbs if using. Tilt the pan and baste the steak with the sizzling butter.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes to keep the juices inside.
Step 3: Sautéed Green Beans
- Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add green beans and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re vibrant and tender-crisp.
- Stir in minced garlic during the final minute for an aromatic boost. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plating & Presentation
For a truly restaurant-worthy plate:
- Place your grilled steak slightly off-center to show off its caramelized crust and juicy interior.
- Nestle two fluffy baked potato halves beside it, loaded with creamy sour cream, smoky bacon, and fresh herbs.
- Add a handful of glossy green beans for a vibrant pop of color and crunch.
Serve on white dinnerware with soft, natural lighting to highlight every detail—from the golden sear on the steak to the delicate crispness of the green beans.
Tips & Pairings
- Want a wine pairing? Try a bold Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec to complement the richness of the steak.
- Add a drizzle of garlic herb butter over the steak for extra flair.
- Make it vegetarian-friendly by swapping steak with grilled portobello mushrooms and using veggie bacon.
