Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 steaks of your choice (e.g., ribeye, striploin, tenderloin)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them come to room temperature while you prepare the mashed potatoes.
  2. In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the diced potatoes until tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, and minced garlic. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Keep the mashed potatoes warm.
  3. Place the seasoned steaks on the preheated grill and cook to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, grill for about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the steaks and your preference for doneness. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. Slice the grilled steaks against the grain into thin strips. Serve the steak alongside a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For best results, let the steaks come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking. For a flavorful twist, marinate the steaks in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the desired level of doneness: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, and so on. For extra richness, you can add a splash of heavy cream or sour cream to the mashed potatoes. Serve this delicious meal with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to add a refreshing contrast to the richness of the steak and mashed potatoes.
