# How to Make It:
01 -
Chop your beef into chunks about 2-3 inches big. Coat evenly with the oil and blackened spice mix. Let it rest 10-15 minutes. Peel your potatoes and cut into quarters. Give them a good soak in cold water for 10 minutes to wash away extra starch, then drain them well.
02 -
Warm up 2-3 tbsp avocado oil in a big skillet on medium-high. Don't touch the steak chunks for 2 minutes, then flip once and wait another minute. Turn down the heat, cook one more minute, then put the steak in a bowl. Using that same pan, melt 3 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp of your chopped garlic until you can smell it. Mix the steak in this garlic butter, cook another minute, then take it out and cover with foil.
03 -
With the same pan, melt 2 tbsp butter and the leftover chopped garlic until it smells good. Gently whisk in your cream and let it bubble. Cook it down for 3-5 minutes. Toss in the chili flakes, green onions, and parmesan. Keep whisking until it gets thick. Add salt and pepper to make it taste right.
04 -
Dump out the water from your potatoes, add the melted butter and warm half and half, then mash them till they're smooth. Stir in the monterey jack, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
05 -
Scoop the mashed potatoes onto plates, add the steak bites on top, and drizzle with the parmesan sauce. Eat right away while hot.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Let your steak sit out for a bit before cooking so it'll cook more evenly.
