Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 2 beef steaks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
For the Mashed Potatoes
  • 3 large potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup peas
For the Veggie Medley
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup asparagus chopped
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 1/2 cup green beans
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp butter

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Peel and cube the potatoes into roughly equal-sized chunks. Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Pat the steaks dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
  3. In the last minute of cooking, add the butter and minced garlic to the pan. Tilt and baste the steaks with the garlic butter a couple of times. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Drain the cooked potatoes well and transfer to a mixing bowl. Mash with butter and milk until creamy but still textured. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fold in the peas just before serving.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Add all vegetables, starting with carrots and green beans. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic in the last 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality beef steaks (ribeye or New York strip work well). Don't skip the resting period for the steaks as it helps keep them tender and juicy. You can prepare all ingredients ahead of time, but cook everything fresh for the best texture and flavor.
