Step-by-step instructions
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. While it warms up, season the ribeye steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side if you like it medium-rare. Adjust the time accordingly if you prefer it more cooked.
Prepare the potato by washing it thoroughly and poking several holes in it with a fork to allow steam to escape. Rub the potato with olive oil and salt. Then, wrap it in foil and place it in the oven at 400°F. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until it’s nice and tender.
For the asparagus, trim the ends off and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can grill them alongside the steak or roast them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until they’re crisp but tender.
Serve the beautifully grilled ribeye steak with the baked potato and roasted asparagus by the side. Enjoy!
Best ways to enjoy it
To serve this meal, slice the ribeye against the grain for a more tender bite, and consider topping your baked potato with a pat of butter, a sprinkle of chives, or even sour cream for added creaminess. Alternatively, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the asparagus adds a nice touch. Pair with a glass of red wine, and you’ve created a true dining experience.
Storage and reheating tips
Leftovers can be safely stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For optimal taste, reheat the steak gently in a skillet over medium heat, as microwaving can make it tough. If you want to save the baked potato, slice it open and heat it while covered in the microwave. Asparagus can be lightly sautéed to revive its texture.
Helpful cooking tips
- Allow your steak to come to room temperature before cooking for more even cooking results.
- Don’t rush the baking process of the potato—this is where it gets its creamy texture.
- If you’re grilling asparagus, a grill basket can help keep them from slipping through the grates.
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Try marinating your ribeye for a few hours with a mix of soy sauce, honey, and garlic for a sweet-savory flavor. You could also swap in Brussels sprouts or zucchini for the asparagus. For a fun topping, consider adding a dollop of chimichurri sauce right before serving to bring a fresh herbaceous flavor to the plate.
