Ingredients

  • 2 strip steaks (about 1 lb total)
  • Montreal steak seasoning, to taste
  • 24 oz baby potatoes
  • Olive oil, as needed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place baby potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
  2. Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the boiled potatoes on the hot surface and smash gently with a spatula. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook 5–7 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
  3. While potatoes cook, cut the strip steaks into bite-sized pieces. Season with Montreal steak seasoning.
  4. On the other side of the griddle or in a separate pan, heat olive oil and sear steak bites for 2–3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
  5. Reduce heat to low and add butter and minced garlic to the steak. Stir to coat and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Top crispy smashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
  7. Serve steak bites alongside the cheesy smashed potatoes and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin as substitutes for strip steak.
  • Boil potatoes ahead of time for quicker meal prep.
  • Add cayenne or chili flakes for spicier steak bites.
  • Bake smashed potatoes at 425°F for 20–25 minutes as an alternative to pan-frying.
  • Swap cheddar for gouda, mozzarella, or pepper jack for flavor variety.
