Prepare to impress your friends and family with this mouthwatering Smoked Ribeye served alongside cheesy broccoli and a loaded baked potato!
Ingredients
4
- 4 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 head of broccoli, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
2
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
3
Rub the marinade over the ribeye steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
4
While the steaks marinate, wash the russet potatoes and poke holes all over with a fork. Wrap each potato in aluminium foil and place them on the smoker for about 1 hour.
5
Once the smoker is ready, place the ribeye steaks on the grill and smoke for 45 to 60 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness (135°F/57°C for medium-rare).
6
During the last 15 minutes of smoking, steam the chopped broccoli until tender.
7
In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese and cheddar cheese until smooth. Pour over the cooked broccoli and toss to combine.
8
Remove the potatoes from the smoker and carefully unwrap. Cut a slit down the centre of each potato and fluff the insides with a fork.
9
Add butter and sour cream to the potatoes, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
10
To serve, place a ribeye steak on a plate alongside cheesy broccoli and a loaded baked potato. Garnish with chives if desired.
Kitchen Tools
- Smoker or grill
- Aluminium foil
- Mixing bowls
- Meat thermometer
- Steamer basket (for broccoli)
- Knife and cutting board
Pro Tips
Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before marinating for better flavour.
Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the ribeye for perfect results.
Feel free to add additional toppings to the baked potato, like bacon bits or green onions.
Troubleshooting
If the ribeye is tough, it may need more marinating time or needs to be cooked to a lower temperature.
If the broccoli is too soft, reduce steaming time next time.
Recipe Variations
Try marinating the ribeye in soy sauce and ginger for an Asian twist.
Add different types of cheese to the broccoli mix, such as mozzarella or gouda.
Healthy Alternatives
Use grass-fed ribeye for a leaner option.
Opt for Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for the potatoes.
Substitute broccoli with another green vegetable like green beans.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
Serve with crusty garlic bread for extra indulgence.
