Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak, cut into thick strips (ribeye or NY strip also work)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 2.5 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks (or Russets, peeled)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving, optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives or scallions (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1 cup cooked broccoli florets
  • Optional: 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
  • Optional: 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes.
  3. While potatoes roast, melt butter in a small bowl. Stir in minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, thyme, and parsley (if using).
  4. Cut steak into thick strips and pat dry. Toss steak strips in half of the garlic butter mixture. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  5. After 20 minutes, remove sheet pan and flip potatoes. Nestle steak strips among potatoes and drizzle remaining garlic butter over everything.
  6. Return pan to oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, until steak is medium-rare and potatoes are golden and crisp. For well-done steak, add 5 extra minutes.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over steak and potatoes. Bake for 3-5 more minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove pan from oven and let steak rest for 5 minutes. Dollop with sour cream and sprinkle with chives or scallions. Add optional broccoli, bacon, or jalapeños if desired.
  9. If potatoes aren’t crisp, broil for 2 minutes, watching closely. For cheese that isn’t melting, cover with foil for a minute.
  10. Chop ingredients while oven preheats and melt butter in microwave for efficiency. Avoid overcrowding the pan for best results.

Notes

For best results, use well-marbled steak and cut potatoes into uniform chunks. Add cheddar at the end for gooey melt. Don’t overcrowd the pan—split into two pans if needed. Recipe is naturally gluten-free and easily adapted for dairy-free or vegetarian diets. Leftovers taste even better the next day.
