- 2 tbsp Butter (contains milk)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Vegetable oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Sides
- 12 oz Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 oz Green beans
- 6 tbsp Sour cream (contains milk)
- ¼ oz Fresh chives
- 1 tbsp Olive oil

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Ingredients
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Adjust rack to the top position.
- Dice potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Thinly slice chives.
- Place garlic cloves in foil with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Seal tightly.
2. Roast Garlic & Green Beans
- Place garlic packet on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
- Add green beans to the same sheet, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 12–15 minutes, until garlic softens and beans are tender-crisp.
3. Make the Mashed Potatoes
- Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, 15–20 minutes.
- Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Mash with sour cream, salt, and pepper. Add cooking water as needed until creamy. Cover to keep warm.
4. Sear the Ribeye
- Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear steak 3–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
5. Make the Pan Sauce
- Mash roasted garlic.
- In the same pan, melt 1 tbsp butter. Add garlic and cook 30–60 seconds.
- Stir in demi-glace and ¼ cup water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1–2 minutes.
- Turn off heat, then stir in another 1 tbsp butter and any steak drippings. Season to taste.
6. Finish & Serve
- Slice steak against the grain.
- Stir half the chives into mashed potatoes.
- Plate steak, potatoes, and green beans. Spoon sauce over steak and potatoes. Garnish with remaining chives.
Tips for Success
✅ Let the steak rest before slicing to keep juices locked in.
✅ Taste the sauce before serving and adjust seasoning.
✅ Use bone-in ribeye for even more flavor.
