Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • Ribeye or sirloin steaks, 2 (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

Potatoes and Cheese

  • 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced about 1/8 inch thick
  • 2 cups sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 6 tablespoons real butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season the Steaks: Pat the ribeye or sirloin steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary for a flavorful crust.
  2. Sear the Steaks: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, creating a golden-brown crust while keeping the inside medium-rare. Remove steaks from the pan and let them rest to retain juices.
  3. Make Garlic Butter: Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat to prevent burning.
  4. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice the Russet potatoes to about 1/8 inch thickness. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with half of the prepared garlic butter mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of thyme and rosemary to infuse herbaceous flavor.
  5. Slice the Steaks: Once rested, slice the steaks into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, ready to layer into the bake.
  6. Assemble the Bake: In a baking dish, evenly layer half of the garlic butter-coated potato slices. Spread the sliced steak pieces in an even layer over the potatoes. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the steak. Add the remaining potato slices as a second layer, drizzle with the remaining garlic butter, and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes. This allows the potatoes to cook through and flavors to meld.
  8. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly, golden brown, and the potatoes are tender.
  9. Rest and Serve: Allow the bake to rest for 5-10 minutes out of the oven. This helps the flavors meld fully and allows the dish to set, making it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

  • For medium or well-done steak, adjust searing time accordingly before layering.
  • Use a mandoline slicer for uniform potato slices if available.
  • Covering the dish during initial baking ensures potatoes steam and cook thoroughly.
  • Letting the bake rest after cooking improves texture and flavor integration.
  • Sharp cheddar provides a strong cheesy flavor; milder cheddar can be used for a subtler taste.
