Step 1
Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes. Drain well.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, pat steak dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
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.
Step 4
In the same skillet, melt remaining 3 tbsp butter over medium. Add minced garlic, cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 5
Return drained potatoes to skillet. Mash roughly, then stir in cheese until stretchy and melted, ~2 minutes.
Step 6
Slice steak against the grain. Top aligot with steak, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, and shaved Parmesan. Serve immediately.
