Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of Omaha sirloin steak
- 6 russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups of heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Step 1: Season the Omaha sirloin steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Set it aside to reach room temperature while you prepare the potatoes.
- Step 2: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Step 3: Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and stir them gently to coat them with the butter and garlic mixture. Cook the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Step 4: In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it starts to simmer. Stir in the dried thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 5: Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Arrange a layer of the sautéed potatoes at the bottom of the dish, followed by a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers until all the potatoes and cheese are used.
- Step 6: Pour the heated cream mixture evenly over the layers of potatoes and cheese in the baking dish.
- Step 7: Place the Omaha sirloin steak on top of the potato layers in the baking dish.
- Step 8: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Step 9: Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Bake for an additional 10 minutes to achieve a golden-brown crust on top.
- Step 10: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
That’s it! Your delicious Omaha Steak Scalloped Potatoes are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
Remember, cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and the type of oven you have, so always keep an eye on the dish as it bakes. With each forkful of tender steak and creamy potatoes, you’ll savor the rich flavors that make this dish a true culinary delight.
Happy cooking!
