Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2-4 petite steaks (*see note)
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2-4 pounds baby potatoes (diced)
2-6 tablespoons salted butter (soft enough to mash with a fork, one tablespoon per steak, plus two tablespoons for the potatoes)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl combine butter, garlic, and dried herbs and set aside. Season steaks generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  • Immediately after removing from oven, place a dollop of the garlic butter on each steak and the rest on the potatoes and let it melt over the food before stirring the potatoes to coat in butter and then topping with chopped thyme and parsley before serving.

  • Add the cheese and green onions at the end: This will help to prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Cheesy steak and potato skillet is best served hot and fresh.
