___Ingredients:___

- 2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick)  

- Salt and pepper, to taste  

- 2 tablespoons olive oil  

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided  

- 3 cloves garlic, minced  

- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped  

- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped  

- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped  

- 1/2 cup heavy cream  

- 1/4 cup whole milk  

- 1/4 cup sour cream  

- Salt and pepper, to taste  

- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

___Directions:___

1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chopped potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Add heavy cream, milk, sour cream, butter, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy. Stir in Parmesan cheese and keep warm.

2. Cook the Steaks: Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest.

3. Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Spoon the garlic butter over the steaks.

4. Serve: Plate the steaks alongside a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and a drizzle of garlic butter sauce. Serve immediately.
