Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 strip steaks
- Montreal Steak Seasoning, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
Potatoes
- 24 oz baby potatoes
- Olive oil, for cooking
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
Toppings
- Shredded cheddar cheese, to taste
- 3 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- Sauté and Smash Potatoes: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Place the boiled potatoes on the griddle and use a spatula to gently smash each potato. Add additional olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the potatoes until they develop a crispy golden crust, flipping occasionally for even cooking, about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare Steak Bites: Cut the strip steaks into bite-sized cubes. Season the steak pieces generously with Montreal Steak Seasoning.
- Cook Steak Bites: On the same griddle or skillet, cook the seasoned steak bites to your desired doneness, usually about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, ensuring a nice sear.
- Create Garlic Butter Sauce: Turn off the heat and add butter and minced garlic directly to the cooked steak on the griddle. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the butter to melt and combine with the garlic, coating the steak bites evenly.
- Assemble Dish: Top the crispy smashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. Serve immediately alongside the garlic butter steak bites for a wholesome, flavor-packed meal.
Notes
- Boil potatoes until fork-tender for best texture before smashing.
- Use a sturdy spatula to smash potatoes gently to avoid breaking them apart.
- Adjust steak seasoning according to your spice preference.
- Ensure steak bites are cooked on medium-high heat for a perfect sear.
- Serving immediately ensures the cheese melts slightly over the hot potatoes.
- Optional: Add a splash of fresh lemon juice to garlic butter for brightness.
