There's nothing quite like enjoying a splendid meal with a loved one, especially from the comfort of your own home. Imagine the tantalizing aroma of grilled ribeye steak filling the air. Today, I'm sharing my favorite recipe for a cozy dinner for two. This meal features grilled ribeye steak, creamy smoky mashed potatoes, and bright charred asparagus—all enhanced with incredible seasonings from Bear Creek Rubs. So put on your apron and let’s get started!

Choosing the Perfect Cut: Ribeye Steak
At the heart of any steakhouse feast is the steak, and ribeye is a standout choice. This cut offers excellent marbling and melts while cooking, keeping the meat juicy and rich. When selecting ribeye steaks, aim for about one inch thick cuts. This thickness ensures even cooking—like at a top-quality steakhouse.
I highly recommend Flaming Ember Steak Seasoning from Bear Creek Rubs for flavor. This seasoning combines garlic, paprika, and cayenne to enhance the natural taste of the meat. To get the best out of this seasoning, apply it generously to your ribeyes about 30 minutes before grilling. This resting time helps the bold flavors soak into the meat.
Making Smoky Mashed Potatoes
No steak dinner is complete without a hearty side like mashed potatoes. Let's elevate it instead of your usual recipe by adding Woodland Embers Smoked Salt. This seasoning adds a rich, smoky flavor that beautifully complements the ribeye.
Start by peeling and chopping four medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes. These potatoes are perfect for their creamy texture. Boil them in salted water until tender, usually 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
Next, you'll want to mix in 4 tablespoons of butter, ½ cup of milk (or cream if you're feeling indulgent), and 2 teaspoons of Woodland Embers Smoked Salt. Mash everything together until smooth and taste to adjust the seasoning. This side dish is guaranteed to impress and pairs perfectly with the grilled steak.

Charred Asparagus: A Fresh and Zesty Addition
Consider adding charred asparagus drizzled with a citrus vinaigrette to round out your meal. This dish adds a refreshing touch and balances the richness of the steak and potatoes.
Begin by snapping off the woody ends of 1 bunch of asparagus. Toss them with a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them for 5-7 minutes until tender and they get lovely grill marks. For the vinaigrette, combine 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then whisk in the High Country Citrus Blend. This blend brings a burst of freshness that makes the asparagus truly shine.
Once everything is cooked and seasoned, it’s time to plate your steak, smoky mashed potatoes, and charred asparagus. This meal not only tastes fantastic but also looks striking on the table.
Dinner Time!
Now, your home is enveloped in irresistible aromas, and it’s almost time to dig in! Set the table with your favorite dinnerware, and savor a cozy steakhouse dinner for two in your dining room.
For an even more special experience, consider pairing your meal with a lovely red wine. A Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with ribeye. Enhance the atmosphere with soft background music or flickering candles to recreate the ambiance of your favorite steakhouse.
