* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
* ½ teaspoon onion powder
* Salt and black pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the potatoes with olive oil, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

2. Roast the potatoes

Spread the potatoes on a foil-lined baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.

3. Season the steak

Pat the steak cubes dry and season with salt, black pepper, and onion powder.

4. Sear the steak

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak bites in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, depending on their size and desired doneness.

5. Add the garlic butter

Reduce the heat and add the butter and minced garlic. Toss the steak in the garlic butter for about 1 minute.

6. Combine and add cheese

Arrange the cooked steak bites among the roasted potatoes. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the top.

Return the tray to the oven for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese melts. Make sure the steak has reached a safe internal temperature.

8. Garnish and serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately while the cheese is melted and the garlic butter is warm.

💡 Tips for the Best Results

* Choose sirloin or ribeye for tender, flavorful steak bites.

🛒 Ingredients

* 3–4 lb beef chuck roast or boneless beef roast
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
* ¼ cup beef broth
* 2 tbsp butter
* 1 tbsp brown sugar
* 1 tsp smoked paprika
* 1 tsp dried thyme
* 1 tsp onion powder
* ½ tsp black pepper
* Salt, to taste
* 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions

* Preheat the oven: Set to 325°F (165°C).
* Season the beef: Pat the roast dry and rub it with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and thyme.
* Sear: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned.
* Prepare the glaze: Mix the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and brown sugar.
* Add the butter: Place the butter over the roast and pour the glaze around it.
* Roast: Cover tightly and cook until the beef is fork-tender, typically 3–4 hours for chuck roast. Cooking time varies with size and cut.
* Glaze: Uncover during the final 15–20 minutes and baste with the pan juices for a glossy, caramelized exterior.
* Rest and slice: Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Spoon the delicious pan juices over the meat.

Tip: For chuck roast, cook until fork-tender rather than relying on time alone. For a leaner beef roast intended to be sliced, use a suitable roasting method and temperature target for that cut.
