1 tablespoon onion powder.
19 -
2 teaspoons garlic powder.

1 teaspoon ground black pepper.

1 teaspoon salt.
22 -
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
23 -
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut the steak into 2-3 inch pieces, rub with avocado oil, and season with blackened seasoning. Let it rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to warm up while you prep the potatoes.
02 -
Peel and quarter the potatoes, then soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to shed excess starch. Drain and boil in salted water until fork-tender.
03 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil. Add steak pieces without crowding, and cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until browned. Flip, cook 1 more minute, then reduce heat to low for another minute. Remove and cover to keep warm.
04 -
In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and sauté 1 tablespoon of minced garlic until aromatic. Toss the steak back, ensuring each piece is well coated in the garlic butter. Cook for another minute and then set aside, tented with foil.
05 -
Add the remaining butter and garlic to the skillet, sauté until fragrant. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, bringing it to a simmer and allow to reduce for 3-5 minutes.
06 -
Drain the potatoes, then mash with melted butter and warmed half and half until smooth. Stir in Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to meld the flavors.
07 -
Stir red pepper flakes and green onions into the cream sauce, then add Parmesan, stirring until the sauce reaches a luxurious thickness. Adjust seasoning as desired.
08 -
Plate the steak bites over the cheesy mashed potatoes and generously drizzle with the Parmesan cream sauce for a feast to savor.
# Notes:
01 -
This recipe features steak bites and mashed potatoes, both of which can accommodate various seasonings based on your preference.
02 -
A higher smoke point oil like avocado oil is recommended for searing the steak to achieve a golden crust without burning.
03 -
Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the sauce to control its spiciness to your liking.
