Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 2 strip steaks, cut into bite-sized cubes
- Montreal Steak Seasoning, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
Smashed 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, approximately 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Griddle and Smash Potatoes: Heat a griddle over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the boiled potatoes on the griddle and use a spatula to gently smash each potato. Drizzle additional olive oil over the smashed potatoes and season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, flipping occasionally, about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare Steak Bites: While the potatoes cook, season the cubed strip steaks generously with Montreal Steak Seasoning.
- Cook Steak: Add the steak bites to the griddle and cook to your preferred doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare, ensuring a nice sear on all sides.
- Make Garlic Butter: After turning off the griddle heat, add the butter and minced garlic to the side where the steak was cooked. Stir until the butter melts and combines with the garlic, then toss the cooked steak bites in the garlic butter mixture to coat evenly.
- Assemble and Serve: Top the crispy smashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. Serve immediately alongside the garlic butter steak bites for a warm and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Boil the potatoes until tender to ensure they smash easily without falling apart.
- Adjust the seasoning on steak bites and potatoes to your preference.
- Use a heavy spatula or potato masher to gently smash the potatoes without breaking them completely.
- Make sure the griddle is properly heated to achieve a crispy crust on the potatoes and a good sear on the steak.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
