Ingredients
Units
Scale
Steak
- 2 Strip Steaks
- Montreal Steak Seasoning (season to taste)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
Potatoes
- 24 oz baby potatoes
- Olive oil (for cooking and drizzling)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Garlic powder (to taste)
Toppings
- Shredded cheddar cheese (to taste)
- 3 chopped green onions
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove. Add the baby potatoes and boil until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat Griddle and Prepare Potatoes: Heat the griddle over medium heat and add some olive oil. Place the boiled potatoes on the griddle and use a spatula to gently smash each potato flat. Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the smashed potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook Crispy Potatoes: Continue cooking the potatoes on the griddle, flipping occasionally, until they develop a crispy, golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes.
- Prepare Steak Bites: While the potatoes cook, cut the strip steaks into bite-sized cubes. Season them generously with Montreal steak seasoning.
- Cook Steak on Griddle: Push the potatoes to one side of the griddle and add the seasoned steak cubes to the other side. Cook steak bites to your desired doneness, about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Finish Steak with Garlic Butter: Once the steak is cooked, turn off the heat. Immediately add the butter and minced garlic to the steak side of the griddle and stir well to coat the steak bites in garlic butter sauce.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the crispy smashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. Serve the garlic butter steak bites alongside the cheesy crispy potatoes and enjoy!
Notes
- The amount of steak can be increased to serve larger families or those with bigger appetites.
- Make sure not to overcook the potatoes when boiling; they should be just tender enough to smash without falling apart.
- Use a good quality Montreal steak seasoning or make your own blend for enhanced flavor.
- Adjust seasoning on potatoes and steak according to your taste preferences.
- This recipe works well with other cuts of steak if desired.
