Longhorn Steakhouse Outlaw Ribeye Copycat

Longhorn Steakhouse Outlaw Ribeye Copycat 

The Longhorn Steakhouse touts an Outlaw Ribeye that’s perfectly seasoned then grilled to your specifications for a perfect meal.  

Don't get me wrong, it's delicious.  

But this restaurant dish can be extremely expensive thus outlawing this it from the family budget.  Their 18 oz bone in grilled ribeye runs $22.99 at my local restaurant making it impossible for many families to enjoy in today’s rough economy.  

But, I’ve made a copycat version of this dinner for three people at about the same price you’d pay for a single dinner at the restaurant.  Mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli complete this meat and potatoes meal the whole family will love.

Instructions

1. To make the mashed potatoes, add the potatoes to a pot of salted water over a medium high heat and bring it to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. 
2. Drain the potatoes.  Add the butter, salt and pepper then mash the potatoes adding enough milk to reach the desired consistency.  Cover the pot to keep them warm until everything else is done.
3. For the steak, place a cast iron skillet over a medium high heat to get it hot before adding the meat.
4. Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper then once the pan is very hot add a tablespoon of oil to the pan then add the steak.  Sear it for 5 minutes on the first side and 4 minutes on the second side for medium rare result.
5. To prepare the broccoli place it into a skillet with about a half inch of water and some salt and pepper to taste.  Bring it to a boil then covered it and let it steam for 5 minutes before adding the butter then serve it with the rest of the meal.

Notes:  I didn’t want to overcrowd the pan, so I seared two steaks first then placed them onto a baking sheet to keep warm in a 170 degree oven while I repeated the same procedure with the third steak.
