Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the middle. Pat the 1½-pound bone-in ribeye dry and season all over with 2⅛ teaspoons Morton kosher salt flakes and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Leave it on a plate while you prepare the vegetables.

  2. Scrub 1 pound potato medley and cut into evenly sized 1-inch pieces. Toss on a large rimmed baking sheet with:

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt flakes
    • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

    Spread out with cut sides against the pan. Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning after 20 minutes, until browned and tender.

  3. While the potatoes roast, wipe clean and thickly slice 8 ounces crimini mushrooms. Peel and finely chop 2 ounces shallot, and peel and mince 2 garlic cloves.

  4. Once the potatoes have roasted for about 15 minutes, heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil, then the seasoned steak. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side, using tongs to brown the fatty edge for another minute.

  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the steak for about 5–10 minutes, until its center reaches 130°F for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 8–10 minutes while you make the sauce. Leave the potatoes roasting until crisp; if they finish first, remove their pan and leave uncovered.

  6. Carefully return the hot skillet to medium-high heat, keeping a towel over its handle as a reminder. Pour off excess steak fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.

  7. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the prepared shallot and garlic, along with ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt flakes and the remaining ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes. Add ⅓ cup water and scrape up the browned bits, then stir in ½ cup heavy cream and the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme leaves. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, until lightly thickened.

  8. Take the sauce off the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and any resting juices from the steak. Cut the rested meat away from the bone and slice across the grain. Divide the steak and crispy potatoes between two warm plates, spooning the mushroom cream sauce over and alongside the steak.

Drink pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon complements the ribeye’s richness and the earthy mushroom cream sauce.

Wine picks:

  • Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon California Red Wine $60.99 1 bottle
  • Columbia Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Washington Red Wine $13.99 1 bottle

Why it works: The ribeye’s char and rich fat, plus the savory mushroom cream, call for Cabernet’s firm tannins and dark-fruit depth. For this steakhouse-style meal, choose Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon for a plush, generous match; Columbia Winery’s Washington Cabernet offers a more savory, structured alternative that complements the thyme and mushrooms.
