Prepare the Potatoes: Start by placing baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Preheat a griddle over medium heat while you prepare the potatoes for smashing.

Smash and Season the Potatoes: Once the potatoes have cooled, place them on the griddle and gently smash each potato using the bottom of a flat plate or spatula. Drizzle with olive oil and generously season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Prep the Steak: While the potatoes are crisping, cut strip steaks into bite-sized cubes and season them liberally with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Make sure the steak is at room temperature for even cooking.

Cook the Steak: Add the seasoned steak bites to the preheated griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally until they achieve a nice sear and your desired level of doneness—aim for a medium-rare internal temperature of 130°F for a juicy result.

Add Garlic Butter: Once the steak bites are cooked, lower the heat and add butter and minced garlic to the griddle. Stir to coat the steak bites evenly in the garlicky, buttery goodness. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is melted.

Finish the Potatoes: Flip the smashed potatoes if you haven't already for even crispiness. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over them, allowing it to melt as the potatoes finish cooking.

Assemble and Serve: Once everything is cooked, plate the crispy smashed potatoes alongside your Garlic Butter Steak Bites. Garnish both with chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant touch. Serve immediately while everything is hot.
