### 📝 Ingredients
#### For the Garlic Butter Ribeye:
– 1 lb ribeye steak – cut into large chunks
– Salt and pepper – to taste
– 4 tbsp butter
– 4 cloves garlic – minced
– 1/2 tsp dried thyme
– 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
– 1/2 cup beef broth (for moisture and richness)
– Fresh parsley – chopped, for garnish
#### For the Parmesan Mashed Potatoes:
– 6 medium potatoes – peeled and cubed
– 1/2 cup milk (more if needed)
– 1/4 cup butter
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper – to taste
– Chives or green onions – chopped, for garnish
### 🔥 Instructions
1. Prepare the Garlic Butter Ribeye:
– Season the ribeye chunks with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbsp of butter and sear the ribeye on all sides for 2-3 minutes until browned. Transfer to the slow cooker.
– Add the remaining butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and beef broth to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the ribeye is tender and infused with garlic butter flavor.
2. Prepare the Parmesan Mashed Potatoes:
– About 30 minutes before the ribeye is done, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and return to the pot.
– Add the milk, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with additional milk if needed and season with salt and pepper.
3. Serve & Garnish:
– Serve the garlic butter ribeye over a bed of Parmesan mashed potatoes. Spoon a bit of the slow-cooker garlic butter sauce over the meat for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or green onions.
This dish is a fantastic combination of tender beef, creamy potatoes, and bold flavors—perfect for a cozy night in! 🥂
