RIB-EYE STEAK AND CRISPY SMASHED POTATOES FOR TWO
Looking for a special dinner for two? First, pan-sear one big steak to share. Then, while the steak rests, use the tasty beef fat left in the skillet to sear smashed paprika-spiced potatoes to crispy, golden perfection.

Steps:
- Season steak with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, fill a large pot with about 1" water and season with a big pinch of salt. Set a steamer basket in pot. Cover and bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until fork-tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove steamer basket with potatoes from heat and let cool to room temperature. Crush each flat with the back of a spatula to about 1" thick (the skins will split and some potato flesh might crumble, which is fine).
- While potatoes cook, cover shallots with vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit at least 10 minutes and up to 30. Pour oil over, then stir in parsley, basil, orange zest, and 1/4 tsp. salt; set sauce aside until ready to serve.
- About half an hour before you want to eat, heat a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high. Using tongs, hold fat cap of steak against skillet while it heats until enough oil to coat pan is rendered, about 2 minutes. Lay steak down in hot beef fat and cook over high heat, turning every 2 minutes, until a deep brown crust forms and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steak registers 120°F for medium-rare, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
- Heat skillet with beef fat over medium. Add potatoes and paprika; season with remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Cook, turning once, until potatoes are golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes.
- Cut meat from bone and slice against the grain into thick slices. Transfer steak and potatoes to a platter. Drizzle some green sauce over and serve with remaining sauce alongside.
DRY-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK RESTAURANT STYLE
The other day I saw Chef Anne Burrell demonstrate this delicious way to serve thick and tender steak! The brown sugar in the dry rub gives the steak a crusty finish, while the smoked paprika and other spices keep it savory. The recipe calls for Kosher salt - if you only have regular table salt, reduce the amount of salt to 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons total. You need to refrigerate the seasoned steaks for several hours, a day, or longer. I personally don't recommend the 3 day chill period (shown in the published recipe) as the salt pulls moisture out of the meat and you may dry smaller steaks out completely. Chill time and grill preparation are not included in the prep time.

Steps:
- Combine all the spices in a bowl. Stir to evenly distribute all the ingredients. If you want to monitor the amount of salt, combine all the spices except the salt in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and stir. Taste the rub and then gradually add more salt to taste.
- Rub the outside of each steak on all sides generously with the rub and store any leftovers in an airtight container. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap two times, and refrigerate up to 24 hours (my preference) or at most 3 days. This makes the steak taste aged.
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill until hot. Brush the grill to remove any left over food, then oil the grill. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking and let them come to room temperature. Just before cooking, remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Place the steaks on a very hot grill and char both sides of the steaks, a few minutes per side. When the outsides of the steaks have become well seared, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Remove steaks from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain in slices to the thickness you prefer, up to 1 inch thick. Add the bone to the serving plate if you have folks who will appreciate it. If desired, drizzle the meat with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

RIB-EYE WITH SMASHED POTATOES
Steps:
- For the compound butter: To the bowl of a food processor, add the butter, Dijon, garlic, shallots, thyme, rosemary, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Process until fully combined, then season with more salt, if needed. Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap. Place the compound butter in the center and roll the plastic wrap around it, twisting both ends so it is in the shape of a log. Place in the fridge to set until firm, at least 20 minutes. The compound butter will keep, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 420 degrees F.
- For the smashed potatoes: Combine the olive oil and grated garlic in a small bowl and set aside. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 to 2 inches. Season the water generously with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and cook the potatoes at a low boil until fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer a rimmed baking sheet. Using the bottom of a cup, gently smash the potatoes into patties. Drizzle with the garlic oil and bake until the skin is crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and keep warm.
- For the steak: Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with a rack and set aside. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil on both sides. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook, undisturbed, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip the steaks and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary and butter. Using a sauce spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics and cook 1 1/2 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the steaks and aromatics to the prepared sheet pan and cook in the oven until the internal temperature registers 140 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer them to a cutting board and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes. Remove the bone from each steak and slice the meat against the grain. Season to taste with salt.
- Slice six 1/2-inch coins of compound butter. Plate the steak, top with the compound butter and serve with the smashed potatoes.
RIB-EYE STEAK AND POTATOES FOR TWO
For a special occasion with a sweetheart, sharing a simple, luxurious dinner at home is even better than going to a restaurant. Splurge on a cut like rib-eye or tenderloin and open a great bottle of wine. It's a simple, no-fuss endeavor, yet very special.

Steps:
- Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sliced garlic and rosemary and set aside to marinate, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until just done, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
- Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over high heat. Remove and discard sliced garlic from steak. (If left on, it will burn in the skillet.)
- When pan is hot, put in the steak and let brown well on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Wait until steak forms a crust and comes away cleanly from the bottom to move it.
- Flip steak and transfer pan to oven, uncovered. Roast until juices begin to rise on surface of steak (you will see the droplets) and internal temperature is 120 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove steak from pan and let rest, tented with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes. (Residual heat will continue to cook the meat to medium-rare as it rests.) Warm a serving bowl for the potatoes and plates for the steak.
- Melt butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and toss to coat and heat through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 minute or less. Gently stir in parsley and lemon zest and transfer to serving bowl.
- Cutting on a slight diagonal, slice steak into 1/2-inch slices, then transfer to plates. If using, place a handful of greens next to the steak. Serve immediately, passing potatoes at the table.

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH THYME-SHALLOT BUTTER, PAPRIKA POTATOES AND ASPARAGUS
We think of rib eye steaks as a special-occasion meal; they are costly and far from lean--but, boy, are they good! This is a meal we might make to celebrate with friends, or just with each other; or on a Friday night to mark the end of a particularly crazy week. Buy rib eyes that are about 1 inch thick. Any thicker than that and the outside might get overdone before the center is medium-rare. The herbed butter takes these steaks to an even more decadent level, but this classic steak-and-potatoes meal is also wonderful without it. You can, of course, make extra herbed butter and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer to use on potatoes, rice, corn, or anything and everything else on which butter gets slathered.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Use a fork to mash the butter with the shallot, thyme, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Transfer it to the center of a small sheet of plastic wrap and roll it into a 1-inch-diameter log; twist the ends closed and chill in the freezer to harden until ready to use, at least 15 to 20 minutes.
- Combine the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil in a bowl. Toss with the paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, cut side down, around the edges of the sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, rotating the pan front to back after 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
- After the potatoes have roasted 20 minutes, add the asparagus to the center of the sheet pan. Roast for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Transfer the potatoes and asparagus to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches below the heat source and preheat the broiler.
- Season the steaks with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and place them on the sheet pan. Broil, turning them once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the thickest part of the steak registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, then serve topped with a slice of the butter and a side of potatoes and asparagus.
