Ingredients
- 4 count beef ribeye steaks (6 oz each)
- 2 count fresh lemon
- 1 tbsp black peppercorns
- 1½ lb russet potatoes
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
Steps
- Peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes, boil in salted water for 12 minutes until tender, then drain and mash with 2 tablespoons butter, minced garlic, juice from 1 lemon, salt and pepper.
- While potatoes cook, toss green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, spread on a rimmed baking sheet, roast at 425°F for 12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Pat steaks dry, season generously with cracked black pepper and salt, then sear in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare (145°F internal temperature), then rest for 3 minutes and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
- Divide mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, and steaks among 4 plates, then add a pat of butter to each steak and serve hot.
- Picky eater tip: serve the steak, mashed potatoes and green beans plain and separate, with the lemon and butter left off.
- Make ahead: peel and cube the potatoes (keep them in cold water) and trim the green beans up to a day ahead; store covered in the fridge.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
