Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika (if using), salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes until tender and edges start to caramelize.
Remove potatoes from oven, sprinkle evenly with grated cheese, and return to the oven for 4–6 minutes until cheese melts and forms a light golden crust.
Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add a thin film of neutral oil and sear steaks for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add compound butter to the pan and baste steaks with the foaming butter for 1–2 minutes.
Transfer steaks to a cutting board and rest for 5–7 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain into even slices.
Plate with cheesy roasted baby potatoes, spoon pan jus over the steak, and finish with flaky sea salt and fresh parsley.

Notes

For best results, bring steak to room temperature before cooking and let it rest after to achieve optimal juiciness. Avoid using a microwave for reheating to maintain texture.
