Ingredients
- 2 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 large russet potatoes, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoon garlic butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a mixing bowl, season the bite-sized pieces of sirloin steak with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steak pieces, searing them until they turn a beautiful brown, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
4. Utilizing the same skillet, toss in the diced russet potatoes. Sauté for about 10 minutes until they are just slightly tender.
5. In a large casserole dish, layer the sautéed potatoes followed by the seared steak. Drizzle the melted garlic butter generously over the top. Pour the beef broth evenly across the dish.
6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese generously over the entire casserole.
7. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. After removing the casserole from the oven, let it sit for a few moments. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor, then serve hot.
Notes
Select tender cuts like sirloin for the best flavor and texture. Avoid tougher cuts as they may not soften enough during baking.
Make sure to not overcrowd the skillet when sautéing potatoes to ensure even cooking.
Combining two types of cheese like cheddar and mozzarella enhances flavor and improves texture with melty goodness.
Layering is key! Start with potatoes, then steak, and finish with cheese to keep everything moist and ensure even cooking.
Always check your casserole at the lower time range first to avoid overcooking.
