A Taste of Elegance
My Favorite is Oklahoma City Steakhouse Dinner its classic and When I first tasted a steak at Mickey Mantle’s Steakhouse, it was more than just a meal; it was a culinary experience. The steak was cooked to perfection, with a flavor that lingered long after the last bite. I knew I wanted to bring that same elegance to my own kitchen. So, I set out to recreate the magic of an upscale steakhouse dinner at home. The goal was to make a meal that felt special but was also manageable to prepare.
The Perfect Steak and Sides
I began with the filet mignon, a cut so tender it almost melts in your mouth. I seasoned each steak with black truffle salt, which added a luxurious touch. Searing them in a hot cast iron skillet gave them a beautiful, golden crust. While the steaks rested, I turned my attention to the garlic mashed potatoes. The creamy, buttery potatoes were the perfect side, complementing the rich flavors of the steak. I also prepared a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing and a classic mac ‘n cheese with pancetta and crab meat, ensuring every bite was packed with flavor.
A Sweet Finale
For dessert, I chose a chocolate cake with fudge icing, something that would end the meal on a high note. The cake was moist and rich, with a smooth fudge icing that melted on the tongue. Fresh berries added a splash of color and a touch of tartness that balanced the sweetness of the cake. It was the perfect ending to a dinner that was both comforting and sophisticated.
A Meal to Remember
As I looked around the table at my guests enjoying their plates, I felt a sense of pride. The Oklahoma City Steakhouse Dinner I had worked so hard to recreate was a success. It wasn’t just about the food, but the experience of sharing a gourmet meal with loved ones. This dinner was more than a meal; it was a celebration of good food and great company.

Chef’s Notes-Oklahoma City Steakhouse Dinner
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (66°C) for medium-well. Remember, steaks will continue to cook slightly while resting.
- Allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes after baking. This helps redistribute the juices, ensuring a juicy and tender steak.
- For the smoothest mashed potatoes, ensure all lumps are mashed thoroughly. Using a potato ricer can achieve an ultra-smooth texture.
- Stir continuously while adding the milk to avoid lumps. For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of cream.
- Many components can be prepared in advance. The mac ‘n cheese can be made ahead and baked just before serving. The chocolate cake can also be baked and iced a day in advance.
