Planning on soaking a rib eye in beer for 24 hours before pan frying it to
medium. Not sure what I will have as side dishes -- perhaps some mashed
potatoes? Hmm... or maybe I'll just go for some blanched spinach.

Suggestions?

Baked potato with the works (dash of butter, sour cream, green onions, bacon
crumbles)
Blanched spinach sounds good or maybe some steamed broccoli

I'll second the baked potato, and add roasted brussels sprouts.

Try some fresh hoseradish. Spinach is good. Blanch it. Put on a blue
cheese or roquefort. And don't forget butter.

Pan fry fresh spinach leaves in oil about 60 seconds until crispy. YUM

That should be considered alcohol abuse. Why ruin one of the best
steaks availible by half-cooking it in beer? If you must soak a steak
in beer, get a cheaper, less tasty one.

If you already have the rib eye, the best way is to sear it at a very
high temperature for about 15 to 45 seconds (depending on the
thickness of the ribeye), flip and do the same. Then reduce the heat
and cook 'til your preferred doneness is reached.
This is better done on a wood or charcoal fired grill.

Cheap and easy and very good..."Tater Tots" cooked on the grill,
adding a slightly smokey taste since the grill is already hot.
Hmmmmmmm! Now I'm reconsidering what to have for my Christmas dinner.

I like that idea... have never tried that before. Today will be a day of
experimentation!

My favorite restaurant serves "drunken rib eye" so I thought I would try it.
Have it soaking in one part Guinness and one part Beamish. Will try searing
it -- have a seasoned cast iron pan for that duty -- then lower heat and
continue to medium.

Think I will boil the two taters (skin on) and then serve them "smashed"
with some Danish Butter.

Thanks for all the ideas.

Was originally served as a "bed" for a chicken breast dish but I wound up
eating the spinach and kicked the chicken breast to the side. The spinach
was much more tasty. And of course, as with anything you really like it was
soon removed from the menu. They actually deep fried it but pan frying
works just the same. Use a mild oil like canola.

I used olive oil that had some peppers and herbs in it... very intriguing
flavor. This will be a new favorite.

Wonder how it would taste with bacon fat?
