Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs ribeye steak, cubed
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- Cube your 2 lbs ribeye steak and generously season with ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp paprika. Sear the meat in a hot skillet until a rich golden-brown crust develops.
- Peel and slice 4 large russet potatoes into even pieces. Boil them in salted water for exactly 10 minutes until fork-tender, then drain thoroughly.
- Whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ cup melted butter, plus a dash of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a large baking dish and create layers starting with potato slices, then scattered steak cubes, chopped onions, and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour the cream mixture evenly across the layered ingredients, ensuring complete coverage. Top with remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes until cheese turns golden and bubbling.
- Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped green onions over the casserole right before serving for fresh flavor and color contrast.
Notes
- For the most tender steak, let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before searing to ensure even cooking.
- Choose a ribeye with good marbling to guarantee rich, juicy flavor throughout the casserole.
- Salt the potatoes during boiling to enhance their natural taste and prevent bland results.
- To make this dish gluten-free, swap regular cheese for certified gluten-free versions and double-check all ingredient labels.
