# Steps:
01 -
Cut steak into 2-3 inch pieces. Rub evenly with avocado oil and blackened seasoning. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Peel and quarter potatoes. Soak potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain.
02 -
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak pieces undisturbed for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for 1 minute more. Lower heat, cook for 1 additional minute, then remove steak to a bowl.
03 -
In the same pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon minced garlic until fragrant. Toss steak in garlic butter to coat, cook 1 more minute, then remove and tent with foil.
04 -
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the remaining minced garlic until fragrant. Slowly whisk in heavy cream, bringing it to a simmer. Reduce for 3-5 minutes. Add red pepper flakes, scallions, and parmesan cheese. Whisk until sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
05 -
Drain boiled potatoes, add melted butter and half and half, and mash until smooth. Mix in monterey jack cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
06 -
Plate the mashed potatoes, top with steak bites, and spoon over the parmesan cream sauce. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow the steak to rest at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
