Description

Sizzling garlic butter steak bites combine perfectly with crispy cheesy smashed potatoes in this hearty comfort meal. Rich flavors from premium beef and melted cheese create an irresistible dinner that satisfies deep hunger with minimal kitchen effort.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 strip steaks
  • 24 oz (680 g) baby potatoes
  • 2 tbsps butter
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • Olive oil (as needed)
  • Montreal steak seasoning (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Garlic powder (to taste)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)
  • 3 green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes by submerging baby potatoes in a pot of boiling water. Cook until fork-tender, approximately 10-15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  2. Heat a griddle to medium temperature. Gently press each potato using a spatula to create a smashed, flattened surface. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Cook the smashed potatoes until golden and crispy, flipping occasionally to ensure even browning on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  4. Meanwhile, slice the steak into uniform bite-sized cubes. Sprinkle Montreal Steak Seasoning evenly across the meat.
  5. On the same griddle, cook the steak cubes, rotating periodically to achieve desired doneness. This typically takes 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
  6. Reduce griddle heat and introduce butter and minced garlic. Toss steak cubes continuously to coat evenly in the aromatic garlic butter mixture.
  7. Top the crispy smashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt from the residual heat.
  8. Garnish both steak bites and potatoes with freshly chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the robust, complementary flavors.

Notes

  • Choose small, uniform baby potatoes for even cooking and consistent smashing results.
  • Pat steak cubes dry before seasoning to ensure better browning and caramelization.
  • Rest steak bites for a minute after cooking to retain maximum juiciness and prevent moisture loss.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties like Gruyère or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
