  • Instructions

    Prepare the Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

    1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
    2. Place the baby potatoes in a large pot of salted boiling water and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
    3. Arrange the potatoes on a greased baking sheet. Use the back of a glass or a potato masher to gently smash each potato.
    4. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    5. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
    6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chives.

    Prepare the Garlic Butter Steak Bites

    1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    2. Season the steak bites with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).
    3. Add the steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
    4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
    5. Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

    6. Serve

      Plate the garlic butter steak bites alongside the cheesy smashed potatoes for a decadent, crowd-pleasing meal. Enjoy!
