Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 2 strip steaks, cut into bite-sized cubes
- Montreal Steak Seasoning, to taste
Smashed Potatoes
- 24 oz baby potatoes
- Olive oil, for cooking
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
Toppings
- Shredded cheddar cheese, as desired
- 3 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- Griddle and Smash Potatoes: Heat a griddle over medium heat and add olive oil. Place the boiled potatoes on the griddle and use a spatula to gently smash each potato to flatten slightly. Drizzle additional olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the smashed potatoes until they develop a crispy, golden crust, flipping occasionally for even cooking, about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare Steak Bites: While potatoes are cooking, season the cubed strip steaks generously with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Add them to the griddle once potatoes are nearly done and cook the steak bites over medium heat until they reach your desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown all sides.
- Make Garlic Butter: Turn off the griddle heat. Add butter and minced garlic to the steak section of the griddle and stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, coating the steak bites evenly.
- Assemble and Serve: Transfer the crispy smashed potatoes to plates and top them with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. Serve immediately alongside the garlic butter steak bites for a warm and delicious meal.
Notes
- Make sure to boil the potatoes until fork-tender for easy smashing without them falling apart.
- Adjust the seasoning on steak and potatoes as per your taste preference.
- Use a heavy spatula to gently smash potatoes for the best crispy texture.
- Cook steak to your preferred doneness by adjusting cooking time on the griddle.
- You can substitute shredded cheddar with your favorite cheese or omit for a dairy-free option.
