Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with salted water. Boil for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
- Pat steak cubes dry and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Smash cooled potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove potatoes from oven, top with cheddar and Parmesan cheese, and roast for another 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted.
- While potatoes finish, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter. Sear steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side.
- In the last minute, add remaining butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Toss to coat. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
- Serve the Butter Steak Bites and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes immediately, spooning garlic butter over the top.
Notes
For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper to the steak seasoning. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
