Ingredients

• 2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 pound potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Season the ribeye steaks with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Allow them to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
4. Add butter and heavy cream to the potatoes, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. In a separate skillet, sauté the asparagus in olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until tender. Add lemon juice and red pepper flakes, if using, for extra flavor.
6. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the steaks with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed asparagus for a complete date night experience.
