Steak and Mashed Potatoes

Dinner Dessert Repeat
This is my new favorite comfort food, Steak and Mashed Potatoes. This recipe features Smoked Paprika Sirloin Steak & Colcannon Mashed Potatoes to level up this classic pairing. Colcannon potatoes are a traditional Irish side dish loaded with cabbage. I recently tried these at Hillstone Restaurant and had to make my own!

Ingredients
  

For the Steak:

  • 1-1 ½ lbs sirloin steak
  • 1 ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper about 6 pepper grinds
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Colcannon Mashed Potatoes:

  • 2 lbs yellow gold potatoes about 3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt to taste
  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper about 10-11 pepper grinds
  • 5 oz heavy cream a little over ½ cup
  • 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 3 c cabbage, thinly sliced about 10 oz
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • ½ c pecorino cheese shredded

Topping:

  • 2 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • For best results, place your steak out on the counter for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking, this will allow the steak to come closer to room temp and cook more evenly.
  • Peel and chop your potatoes into large chunks. Place in a medium pot and cover with water about 2 inches above the potatoes. Add salt to the pot and bring to a boil. Boil under the potatoes are fork tender about 12-15 minutes.
  • Slice your cabbage thinly with a mandolin. Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the boiling water with a slotted spoon. Keep the pot on and boil your cabbage until tender for about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Flatten out your steak with a meat mallet for even cooking. In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder and dried parsley. Combine the spices and rub evenly over both sides of the steak. Set aside and heat a cast iron griddle or pan to medium-high heat.
  • Place the olive oil in the pan and cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side until reaching an internal temp of 130-135°F. Once the steak has cooked, remove and allow to rest on a cutting board for 3-5 minutes.
  • While the steak is cooking, roughly chop your cabbage and mash your potatoes with a potato masher in a medium bowl. Add the milk, cream, parsley, butter, salt and pepper and continue to smash and mix until you have a smooth consistency. If your potatoes have cooled off at this point, you can return them to the medium pot and heat over low to medium heat to fully melt the butter and potatoes.
  • Slice your steak and serve with the potatoes. Add extra melted butter and parsley on top, enjoy!
