Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes: Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
Smash and Cook Potatoes: Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly smash each potato to flatten it slightly. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the griddle and cook until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the bottoms, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Add Cheese and Garnish Potatoes: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the crispy potatoes. Cover or cook briefly until the cheese melts. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Cook Steak Bites: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sirloin steak cubes, seasoned with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked to your desired doneness, about 4-6 minutes depending on size.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the steak bites from the skillet. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the garlic butter steak bites alongside the cheesy smashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Notes

Use baby potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
For extra crispiness, let the potatoes dry well before smashing and cooking.
Adjust steak cooking time based on desired doneness.
Fresh herbs like parsley and chives add a bright finishing touch but can be omitted if unavailable.
For a low-fat version, reduce butter in the steak and cheese in the potatoes.
