# Instructions:

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.

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. 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.
03 -
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.

Drain boiled potatoes, add melted butter and half and half, and mash until smooth. Mix in monterey jack cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Plate the mashed potatoes, top with steak bites, and spoon over the parmesan cream sauce. Serve immediately.
# Notes:

Allow the steak to rest at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
