Rib eye steak cooked in butter

Instructions:

1. Rib Eye Steak:
   • Take the rib eye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
   • Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
   • In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
   • Once the butter is hot and bubbly, add the steaks to the pan.
   • Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
   • Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate for a few minutes before serving.
2. Mushrooms in Peppered Double Cream Sauce:
   • In the same pan used for cooking the steaks, add an additional tablespoon of butter.
   • Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté them until they are tender and lightly browned.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and crushed black peppercorns, stirring well to combine.
   • Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
   • Season with salt to taste. Keep warm on low heat until ready to serve.
3. Asparagus:
   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears.
   • Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
   • Season with salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
   • Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are tender-crisp. Set aside.
4. Cauliflower Cheese with Chilli Flakes:
   • Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender.
   • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
   • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and forms a creamy sauce.
   • Add the chili flakes, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
   • Mix the steamed cauliflower into the cheese sauce until all the florets are coated.

To serve:

Place a rib eye steak on each plate. Spoon the mushrooms in peppered double cream sauce over the steak. Serve with a side of asparagus and cauliflower cheese with chili flakes.
