Loaded Comfort Plate

step 1 Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub ribeye with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
step 2 Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Let rest before serving.
step 3 Reheat the shredded beef with beef gravy in a pan over low heat until warm and well-coated.
step 4 Bake or fry French fries according to package or recipe instructions until golden and crisp.
step 5 Prepare mashed potatoes or reheat if already made.
step 6 Wash and pierce the russet potato with a fork. Wrap in foil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes until tender.
step 7 Carefully open the baked potato, fluff the inside, and top with butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
step 8 Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry plantain slices until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
step 9 Assemble the plate with the grilled ribeye, a portion of fries topped with mashed potatoes and shredded beef, the baked potato, and fried plantains.

Storage and Reheating Tips.

Store components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat steak gently in a skillet or microwave at low power. Reheat fries and plantains in an oven or air fryer for crispiness. Warm shredded beef and mashed potatoes on the stovetop or in the microwave.
