Ingredients

Steak Bites

  • 2 lbs steak filet, ribeye, sirloin, or preferred cut
  • 4-5 tablespoons avocado oil

Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • 5 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced and divided
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 2 green onions, diced (including green and white parts)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated/shredded/shaved

Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

  • 4 lbs russet potatoes
  • 1 cup half and half, warmed
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (or mozzarella/pepper jack as alternatives)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • About 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Homemade Blackened Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika (regular paprika can be used)
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blackened Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Mix well to create a robust seasoning blend for the steak.
  2. Season the Steak Bites: Cut the steak into evenly sized bite pieces. Generously coat the steak bites in the homemade blackened seasoning to ensure full flavor.
  3. Cook the Steak Bites: Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté briefly until fragrant. Add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside, tenting with foil to keep warm.
  4. Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the remaining minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in diced green onions and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the grated parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Prepare the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes: Peel and cut russet potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot or a large bowl. Mash the potatoes while adding warmed half and half, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix until creamy and smooth, ensuring cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
  6. Plate and Serve: Serve the garlic butter steak bites topped with the creamy parmesan sauce alongside a generous portion of cheesy mashed potatoes. Garnish with additional green onions or parsley if desired for extra color and flavor.

Notes

  • Use avocado oil for high heat to avoid burning and preserve flavor.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes in the cream sauce according to your preferred spice level.
  • Russet potatoes are best for creamy mashed potatoes due to their starchy consistency.
  • Make sure to warm the half and half before adding to the potatoes to keep them hot and absorb liquid better.
  • Leftover seasoning can be stored in an airtight container for future use.
  • Steak doneness can be adjusted depending on preference; cooking times may vary.
