Pro Tips Before You Start

Parboil Potatoes First: Makes them easy to smash

Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook steak in batches if needed

Broil for Extra Crisp: Finish potatoes in the oven for cheesy crispiness

How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

Step 1: Parboil the Potatoes

Boil baby potatoes in salted water for 15–18 minutes until fork tender.

Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Smash and Bake

Place cooked potatoes on a baking sheet.

Use a fork or cup to gently smash.

Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake at 425°F for 20–25 minutes until golden.

Sprinkle with cheese and return to the oven until melted.

Step 3: Sear the Steak Bites

Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high.

Add steak cubes (seasoned with salt and pepper) in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned.

Remove from pan.

Step 4: Make Garlic Butter

Lower heat, add butter and garlic to the skillet.

Stir until fragrant.

Return steak to pan and toss in garlic butter for 1–2 minutes.

Step 5: Serve

Plate steak bites alongside cheesy potatoes.

Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy hot.

What to Serve It With

Roasted green beans or asparagus

Caesar salad or wedge salad

A glass of red wine or sparkling water with lemon

Variations / Substitutions

Use Sweet Potatoes: For a hint of sweetness

Add Mushrooms: Sauté and serve with steak

Swap Steak: Use chicken breast cubes or pork tenderloi

Storage & Leftovers

Fridge: Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days

Not Freezer-Friendly: Best enjoyed fresh
