2 tablespoons

2 large (washed and cut lengthwise into 8 wedges each)

Instructions
1
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, sugar, chili powder, black pepper, and red pepper to create a smoky spice blend.
2
Remove 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix and set aside for later. Rub the remaining seasoning evenly over both sides of the ribeye steaks, pressing it into the meat for enhanced flavor. Let them marinate for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
3
In a large bowl, combine the reserved seasoning with vegetable oil and a sprinkle of salt. Add the potato wedges, tossing them well to ensure they are evenly coated in the seasoned oil.
4
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the ribeye steaks directly over the heat source and arrange the potato wedges around them. Close the grill lid and cook the steaks for 10 to 14 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach your desired doneness (145°F for medium rare and 160°F for medium).
5
For the potatoes, grill them for 14 to 17 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and crispy on the outside.
6
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them against the grain. Season with additional salt to taste.
7
While the steaks are resting, serve the grilled potato wedges topped with finely minced green onions. Optionally, create the Sour Cream and Onion Sauce by combining sour cream with minced green onions, garnishing with a sprinkle of smoked or Spanish paprika.
8
Serve the ribeye slices alongside the crispy potatoes and the creamy sauce for dipping. Enjoy your flavorful meal!
