Blackstone Steak and Smashed Potatoes
Blackstone Steak and Smashed Potatoes is a complete meal recipe for the griddle, a lemon garlic herb butter brings maximum flavor!
Equipment
- Flat Top Grill/ Griddle
- Blackstone Griddle
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds petite redskin or gold potatoes
- kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs of choice (I used thyme, rosemary, and dill)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 5 to 6 cloves garlic finely minced
- 4 steaks of choice (I used ribeye steaks 1 inch thick)
- cooking oil of choice
Instructions
- Fill a saucepan with water, bring to a boil, salt the water with kosher salt and add the potatoes. Boil for 12 minutes (if they are regular size potatoes and not petite, boil for 18 minutes).
- Combine the melted butter, fresh herbs, lemon juice, garlic, and some crushed red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
- Season the steaks with kosher salt and pepper.
- Preheat the griddle to medium heat for several minutes. Spread some cooking oil of choice on the griddle and put the potatoes on the griddle once hot and smash them with a burger press or cup. Season the potatoes with kosher salt and pepper.
- Add the steaks to the griddle and cook both the steaks and potatoes for 6 to 8 minutes total, flipping both halfway through. Brush the lemon herb garlic butter on the potatoes and steak during the last minute or two.Note: I cooked my steaks 6 minutes total (3 minutes per side) for medium rare doneness, cook more or less depending on how you like your steaks cooked. I recommend using a thermometer to monitor steak temperature.
