Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 strip steaks
- Montreal Steak Seasoning, to taste
Smashed Potatoes
- 24 oz baby potatoes
- Olive oil, as needed
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce & Toppings
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
- 3 green onions, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Boil the baby potatoes in a pot of water until they are fork-tender, usually about 15 minutes. Drain well.
- Sauté and Smash Potatoes: Heat a griddle over medium heat and add olive oil. Place the cooked potatoes on the griddle, then use a spatula to gently smash each potato to flatten slightly. Add more olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the smashed potatoes until crispy on the outside, flipping occasionally for even browning, about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare Steak Bites: Cut the strip steaks into bite-sized cubes. Season the steak cubes generously with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Add them to the hot griddle and cook to your preferred doneness, typically 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the heat and cube size.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: Once the steak is nearly done, turn off the griddle heat. Add the butter and minced garlic to the steak side. Stir continuously until the butter melts and mixes well with the garlic and steak juices, creating a flavorful garlic butter sauce that coats the steak bites.
- Assemble and Serve: Place the crispy smashed potatoes onto plates or a serving platter. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately alongside the garlic butter steak bites to enjoy hot and flavorful.
Notes
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with fingerlings or small Yukon gold potatoes.
- Adjust steak cooking time based on preferred doneness and cubed size.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dash of smoked paprika to the potatoes.
- Use unsalted butter if you want to control the salt level more precisely.
- Leftover steak bites can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently on a skillet.
