Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups diced potatoes cut into small, even cubes for faster cooking
  • 1 piece steak cubed (sirloin or ribeye works best for tenderness)
  • 4 slices bacon chopped (for crispy, smoky flavor)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced (fresh garlic gives the best taste)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese use sharp cheddar for stronger flavor
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted preferred
  • 1/4 cup sour cream adds creaminess and balance
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the flavorful bacon fat in the pan.
  2. Add the diced potatoes to the same skillet and cook until golden brown and tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and crisp edges.
  3. Add the cubed steak to the skillet. Cook until browned and done to your preference, allowing a nice sear to develop.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and butter. Cook for about one minute until fragrant, coating everything in rich flavor.
  5. Top with shredded cheese, crispy bacon, and sour cream. Let the cheese melt slightly, then gently mix and serve hot.
