Smoked Rib-eye over Mustard Sauce, Loaded Smashed Potatoes, and Cucumber Salad

Cooking instructions
* Step 2
Get the Rib-eye to room temp, trim off any excess fat you wish to remove, and pat dry with paper towel. Combine Salt, Pepper and and dry rub seasoning you may have chosen and liberally (as in a lot) rub all over the meat on all sides. Don’t be afraid to load it up as it will create a beautiful crust.
* Step 3
Preheat smoker or traeger to 220°. Place rib-eye in and let it be for about 3hrs. Check temp and let it smoke longer (15min intervals) if not at 140° internal temp.
* Step 4
Let rest about 15min before carving. I used a meat slicer.
* Step 5
For the Smashed Loaded Potatoes:
* Step 6
Preheat oven to 400º. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with two inches of water. Season with salt.
* Step 7
Bring to a boil and boil until tender, 15 minutes. Drain until cool enough to handle.
* Step 8
Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet. Pour over melted butter, garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Toss until totally combined.
* Step 9
Using the bottom of a small glass or jar, smash potatoes into flat patties.
* Step 10
Bake until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes more.
* Step 11
Top with cheddar and bake until melted, 3 minutes more.
* Step 12
Top with cooked bacon, green onions, and sour cream (if using) and serve.
* Step 14
In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, crushed red pepper, and salt. Set the dressing aside.
* Step 15
Peel and slice the cucumber using your favorite method (see photos below for my technique). Place the sliced cucumbers in a large bowl.
* Step 16
Chop the peanuts into smaller pieces. Slice the green onions.
* Step 17
Add the peanuts, green onions, and dressing to the sliced cucumbers. Stir to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat. Give the salad a brief stir before serving to redistribute the dressing and flavors.
* Step 19
Mix Dijon Mustard and Sour Cream in a saucepan and heat gently until simmering. Season to taste and serve.
* Step 20
Plate accordingly, serve and enjoy!
