Recipe Ingredients

For the Smoked Ribeye:

• 2 Ribeye steaks (highly marbled, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches thick)

• 2 tbsp Olive oil (for binding the seasoning)

• 1 tsp Smoked paprika (gives that rich, wood-fired flavor)

• 3 tbsp Butter (for basting)

• Coarse salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste

For the Garlic Butter Roasties:

• 4 Large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best, cubed)

• 3 Garlic cloves (finely minced)

• 2 tbsp Butter (melted)

• Salt & black pepper to taste

For the Fluffy Scrambled Eggs:

• 4 Large organic eggs

• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter

• A pinch of salt & pepper

For the Fresh Chimichurri Sauce:

• 1 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped)

• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)

• 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil

• 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar

• 1 tsp Red chili flakes (for a subtle kick)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Garlic Butter Roasties

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

2. Toss your cubed potatoes in a bowl with the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

3. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and ultra-crispy on the edges.

Step 2: Season and Cook the Ribeye

1. Pat the ribeye steaks completely dry with a paper towel (this ensures a perfect crust).

2. Rub the steaks with olive oil, then generously season all sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

3. If using a smoker: Smoke at 105°C (225°F) until the internal temperature reaches 43°C (110°F), then reverse-sear in a hot cast-iron skillet for 1 minute per side with butter.

4. If using a stovetop: Sear in a smoking-hot cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes per side. In the last minute of cooking, toss in 3 tablespoons of butter and spoon the melted, frothing butter over the steak continuously (basting).

1. Remove the steaks and let them rest for 5–7 minutes to lock in the juices.

Step 3: Whip Up the Quick Chimichurri

1. In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, and chili flakes.

2. Whisk in the extra virgin olive oil slowly until well combined. Taste and adjust with a pinch of salt.

Step 4: Cook the Perfect Scrambled Eggs

1. Whisk the 4 eggs thoroughly in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until completely uniform.

2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat.

3. Pour in the eggs and cook slowly, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula. Remove from the heat just before they look fully done—the residual heat will finish cooking them into soft, velvety ribbons.

Step 5: Plate and Serve

1. Slice the rested smoked ribeye against the grain.

2. Arrange a generous portion of crispy garlic butter roasties and fluffy scrambled eggs alongside the steak.

3. Spoon the vibrant green chimichurri sauce generously over the warm ribeye steak. Serve immediately!

Chef's Tips for Success

Tip #1: Don't Skip the Steak Rest!

Resting your steak allows the muscle fibers to relax and reabsorb the delicious juices. Slicing too early will cause all the flavor to run out onto your cutting board.

Tip #2: Parboil for Extra Crispiness

If you have an extra 10 minutes, boil your cubed potatoes in salted water for 5 minutes before tossing them in garlic butter and roasting. This creates a starchy layer on the outside that crisps up beautifully in the oven.
