Steak and mash are friends!

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

99 times out of 100 I would make steak on the green egg.

I like the process better. It's more relaxing.

Also taste wise nothing can beat BBQ in my opinion!

But tonight they forecasted a lot of rain and it was just me. (Bianca is in The Hague).

I decided to go for a pan fry.

It's a completely different taste compared to bbq but you can do do some fun stuff like basting the steak in butter.

Let's cook!

When it's just me I usually don't bother peeling potatoes to much. These potatoes had those things on them that grow when you leave em to long. I cut those off but left the rest. I like the peel (although it's a sin in mash I guess!).

This is the steak. It's ribeye and it looks wrinkled. That's because I defrosted it in water. I had no time to do it properly. It doesn't effect the taste as far as I know. After you dry it and let it sit for a while it returns to normal.

I put the pan on medium heat and added a little oil. This steak was pretty thick so I didn't want to blast it from the start. It will get too crispy and not cook in the centre.

I added the potatoes to boil. I use a pressure cooker. Takes about 8 minutes.

After about 5 minutes I added some butter to the pan. (double from what you see here).

You can use the butter to baste the steak from time to time. You can't so this in a green egg that easily!

When the internal temp reached 47-50c I took the steak out of the pan. I let it rest for 5 minutes so the juices could settle (If you cut it straight away they will just pour out onto the board.)

I mashed the potatoes with some milk, butter and salt. Nothing special really! I added the steak next to it.

End result! Pretty good result as far as I'm concerned! I was a happy man tonight . Steak and mash just works! But it never did rain!

A wonderful result, my friend and although this time your green egg rests, the steak in the frying pan turned out well for you! I'm always pleased to see how you cook meat, in any form, since I'm also a big fan of eating meat and this steak with the addition of mashed potatoes is also very mouth-watering and sure that the taste is unmatched! Thank you Mark for a great recipe.

i am salivating this delicious recipe look so rich in protein and the essential nutrients. you explanation on the method of preparation is well detail and straight to understand. Lovely and nutritious meal

Heeeeey, Where is my invitasjon? That looks epic! buying a green egg online

Mark, that steak looks perfect to me...medium with some nice color.

Eating well @exyle :)

99 out of 100 times you would use the green egg for anything! LOL, it's your go-to-appliance :) Still, the alternatives provide.

This looks like it is cooked perfectly! I bet it tasted as good as it looks. Bianca sure missed a treat!

she did!

Do you like to cook? Because that looks delicious! A very rich combination, meat and pure, usually in my country we add also fried banana or roasted is very good

Yeah, I do enjoy cooking/grilling.

Yummers!! Looks great! Just missing some bright green veggies no?! LOL's
I love bbq too! But, don't have one right now. So, i took the George Foreman grill outside to the step and cooked a few burgers for supper! They turned out awesome! Plus no stinky fried hamburger smoke in the house!!! It's so nice to cook & eat outside. 20180527_190949.jpg

Yeah i second that too.

That looks great! I love cooking outside.

I always leave the skins on the potatoes. It is healthier for you. I just call it rustic smash when people comment on it. Me, I would add mushrooms and onions to the pan after I took the steak out. The juices from the cooking meat and the butter are awesome to use for the pan-fried mushrooms and onions. Oh, and a cold beer of course!

Rustic Mash! Brilliant!

Needs a green.

Agree. (green egg...I assume?)

But tonight they forecasted a lot of rain and it was just me.

It actualy rains in NY lol. Sometimes I think you are just behind the door, that we live in the same city. One think I learned about steaks. They have to be perfectly defrosted otherwise they will not be as tender and delicious. It includes any meat. But I’m sure you already knew it, otherwise you wouldn’t have pointed out. Mashed potatoes just complete this food.

Steak must be room temp before cooking always!

I do like a bit of butter basting the meat myself!

In a non pervy way of course!

LOL!

Looks like you cooked it perfectly. Especially tasty with the butter basting!

I like the transparent vegetables on the side🤔

If you are ever in Ontario, Canada, I now have a BBQ recommendation for you. (Other than my BGE of course)

There was no room for the veggies :)

Woah, that looks so juicy.

Best combination possible, meat and potatoes.

From time to time, I go to youtube, and watch videos of people making steaks and similar, but I rarely eat those.

I don't have that much lately, and I'm trying to spend the least amount of time preparing food.

I'll definitely have to treat myself with a seasoned steak in the near future.

Yea I have to agree done on the BBQ is the best flavour @exyle which is probably why BBQ flavours are so darn popular, wow I dont think I have ever had mash potato with its skin on next time I might just give it a try.

hello friend! From what you show us it seems that this butter steak is more welcoming than Friday's pizza! However, it is always better to have Bianca close to you that peels potatoes well for you;)))

The steak and potatoes is very delicious. Thats one huge chunk of meat haha

Nice! good to see this after a while. Cheers!

Lol, I first thought you put some vegetables in that mash. Had to read it again to see that it's just the skins :P

looks very delicious food, I will try it, thanks friends

Well it does really looks delicious and nice combo meal by the way ;)

Hello @exyle I tell you that I have a food blog, and believe me I have never presented something as delicious as that dish, I will encourage you to do it, maybe I will not do as well as you, I will try, believe me, that food is great and the steak wow .

A very interesting profile. Regards! :)

Hmmm. Where are your veggies then@exyle? 😁

We had heavy rain on Thursday. It was actually a lovely surprise as it's been so long since I've seen any. Back to sun straight after on Friday.
