Grilled Ribeye Steak with Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
• Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)

For the Roasted Potatoes:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

For the Steak:

1. Preheat the Grill or Skillet:

   • If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
   • If using a skillet, heat it over medium-high heat.

2. Season the Steak:

   • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
   • Season both sides of each steak with salt and black pepper.
   • Drizzle olive oil over the steaks and rub minced garlic on both sides if using.

3. Grill or Sear the Steak:

   • If using a grill, cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness.
   • If using a skillet, sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side and then finish in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached.

4. Rest the Steak:

   • Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the steak juicy.

For the Roasted Potatoes:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare the Potatoes:

   • In a bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3. Roast the Potatoes:

   • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
   • Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning them once or twice during cooking.

   Serve:
