02 - 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
03 - 4 tablespoons butter
04 - Salt and pepper to taste

06 - 1 pound baby potatoes
07 - 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
09 - Salt and pepper to taste

# Instrucțiuni:

01 - Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
02 - Place the potatoes on a griddle or large skillet. Use a spatula to lightly smash them.
03 - Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes until golden and crispy, about 10 minutes on each side.
04 - Once crispy, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with freshly chopped chives.
05 - Heat a griddle or large skillet over high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and foamy, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
06 - Add the steak cubes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

# Note utile:

01 - For a richer flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the steak bites while cooking.
02 - You can use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack, for the smashed potatoes.
03 - This dish pairs well with a simple salad or roasted vegetables for added freshness.
