Savour the unbeatable combination of flavours and textures with this sumptuous Bone-in Ribeye, perfectly complemented by Loaded Sweet Potatoes and Bacon Wrapped Asparagus, drizzled with zesty Homemade Chimichurri!
Ingredients
4
- 2 bone-in ribeye steaks (about 1.5 inches thick)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 bunch of asparagus
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2
Wrap each asparagus spear with a slice of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
3
On a baking sheet, toss the bacon-wrapped asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is crispy.
4
While the asparagus is roasting, pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave on high for about 8-10 minutes until tender.
5
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, shredded cheese, and butter; set aside for the loaded sweet potatoes.
6
Season the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
7
Heat a skillet over high heat and add a bit of oil.
8
Sear the ribeyes for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
9
While the steaks are resting, prepare the chimichurri by mixing parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
10
Slice the sweet potatoes open and fill with the loaded mixture, then serve alongside the steaks and bacon-wrapped asparagus.

Pro Tips
For a perfect sear on the ribeye, ensure your skillet is very hot before adding the steak.
Let the steaks rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings for the sweet potatoes.
Troubleshooting
If the sweet potatoes are dry, try not to overcook them in the microwave.
If the chimichurri is too acidic, increase the amount of herbs to balance the flavours.
Recipe Variations
Try using different herbs in the chimichurri for unique flavours.
Use prosciutto instead of bacon for a different twist on the asparagus.
Healthy Alternatives
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to reduce calories.
Swap regular butter for a plant-based option.
For a lower-carb version, replace sweet potatoes with cauliflower mash.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a fresh garden salad drizzled with lemon vinaigrette.
Serve with grilled vegetables for extra colour and nutrients.

Garnish Ideas

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Cooking the ribeye at too low a temperature can result in a less desirable texture.
Skipping the resting time for the steaks can cause them to lose juices when sliced.
