Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes. Drain well.

  2. Step 2

    While potatoes cook, pat steak dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Sear steak 90 seconds per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, melt remaining 3 tbsp butter over medium. Add minced garlic, cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Return drained potatoes to skillet. Mash roughly, then stir in cheese until stretchy and melted, ~2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Slice steak against the grain. Top aligot with steak, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, and shaved Parmesan. Serve immediately.
