Instructions

Cut steak into 2-3″ pieces. Rub with avocado oil and season with blackened seasoning. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
Peel and quarter potatoes. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes, then boil in salted water until tender.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak pieces undisturbed for 2 minutes per side.
Reduce heat to low, add butter and garlic, and toss steak in garlic butter for 1 minute. Remove steak and tent with foil.
In the same pan, add butter and remaining garlic. Whisk in heavy cream and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Drain potatoes and mash with melted butter, cream, cheese, and seasonings until smooth.
Add red pepper flakes, scallions, and parmesan to the sauce. Whisk until thickened.
Plate steak over mashed potatoes and spoon parmesan cream sauce on top.

Notes

Use avocado oil for its high smoke point.
Cook steak in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
