This Garlic Butter Steak & Cheddar Potato Bake is a comforting and hearty dish featuring tender ribeye or sirloin steaks seared to a golden crust, layered with thinly sliced Russet potatoes and sharp Cheddar cheese, all baked to bubbly perfection with fragrant garlic butter and aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • Ribeye or sirloin steaks, 4 pieces (choose tender cuts)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme, plus extra for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, plus extra for seasoning

Potato Bake

  • 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced about 1/8 inch thick
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (sharp or extra-sharp)
  • 6 tablespoons real butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season Steaks: Pat the ribeye or sirloin steaks dry and generously season both sides with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to enhance flavor.
  2. Sear Steaks: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms, aiming for a medium-rare doneness. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest.
  3. Prepare Garlic Butter: Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the butter melts and the garlic becomes fragrant, then remove the skillet from heat.
  4. Prepare Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice Russet potatoes about 1/8 inch thick. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with half of the garlic butter mixture, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of dried thyme and rosemary to infuse flavor.
  5. Slice Steaks: Once rested, slice the steaks into thin strips or bite-sized pieces suitable for layering in the bake.
  6. Assemble Bake: In a baking dish, spread half of the prepared potato slices evenly. Layer the sliced steak pieces over the potatoes and sprinkle half of the shredded Cheddar cheese on top. Add the remaining potato slices over the steak layer, drizzle the remaining garlic butter evenly, and finish by topping with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes to cook the potatoes through and melt the cheese.
  8. Brown Cheese: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the cheese to bubble and turn golden brown while the potatoes finish tenderizing.
  9. Rest and Serve: Let the baked dish rest for 5-10 minutes outside the oven to allow flavors to meld and the casserole to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs if available for a more vibrant herbaceous flavor.
  • For a more well-done steak, increase searing time or adjust according to preference.
  • To speed up the baking of potatoes, consider parboiling thin slices for 3-4 minutes before assembling.
  • Make sure potatoes are sliced uniformly for even cooking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain the crispy cheese top.
