Grilled Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans
A hearty and comforting dish featuring succulent grilled steak paired with creamy mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Grilled Steak
- 2 pieces boneless ribeye steaks (or your favorite cut)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
For the Mashed Potatoes
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup milk (or cream for a richer flavor)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Green Beans
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation of Grilled Steak
- Preheat your grill to medium-high. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic, then rub onto both sides of the steaks.
- Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time as desired. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Whip Up Those Mashed Potatoes
- Place the diced potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Boil until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add milk, butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Cooking the Green Beans
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and trimmed green beans. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender.
- Add garlic and season with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally.
Notes
For leftover mashed potatoes, consider mashing in some cheese for a quick breakfast hash. Use a meat thermometer for grilling steaks; a medium steak reaches about 145°F. Add lemon juice to green beans before serving for a fresh twist.
