Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs steak (filet, ribeye, sirloin, etc.)
- 4–5 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 5 tablespoons butter, divided
- 10 cloves garlic, minced and divided
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 green onions, diced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated/shredded/shaved
- 4 lbs russet potatoes
- 1 cup half and half (warmed)
- 6 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the steak into 2-3 inch pieces. Rub them evenly with avocado oil, then season all sides with the blackened seasoning mix. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
- Peel and quarter the russet potatoes. Soak them in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain, then place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and boil until tender.
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces in batches, sear undisturbed for about 2 minutes, then flip. Cook for another minute, reduce heat to low, and cook for an additional minute. Remove steak and place in a bowl.
- In the same skillet, add 3 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then add the steak back and toss to coat. Cook for one more minute. Remove steak and keep warm.
- In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of butter and remaining minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in red pepper flakes, green onions, and parmesan cheese. Whisk until thickened.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add melted butter, warmed half and half, and mash until smooth. Fold in Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Plate the cheesy mashed potatoes, top with garlic butter steak bites, and spoon over the parmesan cream sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, reduce the cayenne pepper.
- Feel free to substitute other cheeses as desired.
