Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the ribeye or sirloin steaks dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Let rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Lower the heat, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside the garlic butter.
  4. Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes. Drizzle with half of the garlic butter, then season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
  5. Slice the rested steaks into thin strips against the grain.
  6. In a greased baking dish, layer half of the potato slices, then the steak strips, and half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat layers and drizzle remaining garlic butter on top.
