# Instructions:

01 - Slice steak into 2–3 inch sections. Apply avocado oil and coat with spicy seasoning. Set it aside at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
02 - Peel and chop up the potatoes. Soak them in cold water for 10 minutes, drain, then cook in salty boiling water until soft.
03 - Warm up avocado oil in a big pan over medium-high heat. Sear steak pieces for 2 minutes without moving them, flip, and cook another minute. Lower heat and cook 1 additional minute.
04 - Melt butter in the pan with garlic, and cook till fragrant. Coat the steak in this garlic butter mixture. Wrap in foil to keep warm.
05 - Use the same skillet and melt more butter. Sauté garlic, add heavy cream, and simmer for a few minutes. Stir in Parmesan, green onions, and crushed pepper to thicken.
06 - Once the potatoes are drained, mix in butter, warmed half-and-half, cheese, and spices. Mash until there are no lumps.
07 - Plate the mashed potatoes, place the steak on top, and drizzle with the Parmesan sauce.

# Notes:

01 - Make sure to use oil that handles high heat well when searing.
02 - To cook steak evenly, keep space between pieces in the pan.
03 - Cut back on cayenne or red pepper for less heat.
