Ingredients:

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Chives for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. Rub the marinade all over the steaks and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
3. While the steaks marinate, place the cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add heavy cream, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy and smooth.
5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
6. Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the grilled steak with a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes, garnished with chopped chives.
