Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Steak Bites:
    • 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into cubes
    • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
    • 4 tablespoons butter
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • For the Smashed Potatoes:
    • 1 pound baby potatoes
    • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Fresh chives, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Potatoes:
    • Boil the Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
    • Preheat the Griddle: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Smash the Potatoes: Place the cooled potatoes on the griddle. Use a spatula or the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato, flattening them slightly.
    • Season and Cook: Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
    • Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes and cook for a couple more minutes until melted. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped chives.
  • Prepare the Steak Bites:
    • Heat the Griddle: Use the same griddle or a new pan over high heat.
    • Melt the Butter: Add butter to the griddle. Once melted and foamy, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Cook the Steak: Add cubed sirloin steak, season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.
    • Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.
  • Serve: Serve garlic butter steak bites alongside cheesy smashed potatoes on a plate. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak cubes in garlic and herbs before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other toppings to the smashed potatoes, such as bacon bits or sour cream.
