Ingredients

• 2 pieces (10-12 oz each) Rib-eye steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 medium-sized (about 1.5 lbs total) Yukon gold potatoes
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.33 cup Mascarpone cheese
• 0.25 cup Chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon Salt (for potatoes)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper (for potatoes)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the Yukon gold potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 2

As the potatoes cook, prepare the rib-eye steaks. Pat them dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Place the steaks in the hot pan and allow them to sear for 3-4 minutes without moving them. Flip the steaks and sear for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time depending on your preferred doneness.

Step 5

Add the unsalted butter to the pan along with a sprig of fresh herbs (optional, such as thyme or rosemary). Spoon the melted butter over the steaks for added flavor for 1 minute.

Step 6

Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let them rest for 10 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 7

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth using a potato masher or ricer.

Step 8

Heat the heavy cream and chicken stock in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. Pour the warm mixture into the mashed potatoes and stir to combine.

Step 9

Fold in the mascarpone cheese, salt, and ground black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 10

To assemble, spoon a generous portion of the mascarpone potato puree onto each plate. Place a rib-eye steak on top of the puree and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant and delicious meal.
