Instructions

Cut the steak into 2-3″ pieces, rub with avocado oil, and coat with Cajun seasoning. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
Peel and quarter the potatoes, soak in cold water for 10 minutes, then boil in salted water until fork-tender.
In a large skillet, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat, sear steak bites for 2 minutes on each side, then reduce heat to low and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove steak and set aside.
Add butter and garlic to the skillet, sauté until fragrant. Whisk in heavy cream and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Add Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and adjust seasoning.
Mash boiled potatoes with butter, cream, cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Add the steak bites back to the skillet, toss in the garlic butter sauce, and serve over the mashed potatoes, drizzling with remaining sauce.

Notes

Ensure the pan is preheated for the perfect sear. For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with evaporated milk and mashed potatoes with mashed cauliflower. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
