Ingredients
For the Steak:
2 ribeye or sirloin steaks
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
For the Mashed Potatoes:
4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup milk (more if needed)
4 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Tomatoes:
4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions
1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
1. Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

2. Cook the Steak:

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook to your desired level of doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Add minced garlic and herbs during the last minute of cooking, if using.
3. Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving.
3. Prepare the Tomatoes:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Arrange tomato slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Serve:
