Ingredients

Ribeye Steak

• 1 large ribeye steak (12–14 oz)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary (optional)

Loaded Baked Potato

• 1 large russet potato
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp sour cream (or lactose-free sour cream if preferred)
• 1 scoop unflavored protein powder
• 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1 tbsp chopped green onions
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Garlic Asparagus

• 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp grated parmesan (optional)

Preparation

1. Bake the potato

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  Wash and dry the russet potato, then pierce it several times with a fork.
  Rub lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 45–60 minutes, until soft inside.
• Once cooked, slice the potato open and fluff the inside with a fork.
• In a small bowl, mix sour cream with the unflavored protein powder until smooth, then add it to the potato along with butter, cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper.

2. Cook the ribeye steak

• Remove the ribeye from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
• Season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add olive oil.
• Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust based on thickness and desired doneness).
• Add butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary to the pan.
  Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak for about 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

3. Prepare the garlic asparagus

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add asparagus and cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender but still slightly crisp.
• Add minced garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 additional minute.
• Finish with grated parmesan if desired.

This steakhouse ribeye plate delivers a perfect balance of rich, savory flavors and satisfying textures. The juicy ribeye, creamy loaded baked potato, and crisp garlic asparagus create a restaurant-quality meal at home. Adding a small amount of unflavored protein powder to the potato mixture is an easy way to increase the overall protein content while keeping the classic steakhouse taste intact.
