Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 1.5 pounds steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak), diced into 1-inch cubes
- Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth (or cream)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Pinch of onion powder or paprika
- Dried thyme, rosemary, or oregano, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
- Sharp or medium cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Dice your steak and potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, toss the diced steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of onion powder or paprika.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove to a plate.
- Par-cook the diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup of water for 5-7 minutes, or boil in salted water for 5-8 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the par-cooked potatoes to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread half of the garlic butter coated potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer the seared steak cubes over the potatoes and sprinkle half of the grated cheddar cheese on top.
- Top with the remaining garlic butter coated potatoes and pour the beef broth evenly over the layers. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley or chives and serving hot.

Keywords: For best results, don't overcook the steak initially, and ensure consistency in dicing the steak and potatoes. Freshly grated cheese is recommended for better melting and flavor.
