Cubed steak seared on a hot Blackstone, smashed crispy potatoes, and griddle-steamed veggies — all stacked into one bowl. Simple. Savage. Done.
Cubed Steak & Smashed Potato Bowl on the Blackstone
This one is pure patio cooking — no fuss, no fancy techniques, just real food built on a hot flat top. Cubed steak, smashed potatoes, and griddle-steamed veggies stacked into a bowl that hits every note.
The Steak
Start with cubed steak hitting a hot, oiled Blackstone — hear that sizzle? That's what you want. Drop in some butter and hit it with your favorite seasoning. Let that cook to your perfect doneness. The butter baste gives you a deep, caramelized crust that makes every bite count.
The Veggies
Off to the side, throw your veggies right on the griddle. Add a little garlic, a splash of water, and cover them with a basting dome — let that steam up and get tender. The dome traps the heat and moisture so you get soft, flavorful veggies without overcooking them.
The Smashed Potatoes
Parboil your potatoes first until they're soft, then straight onto the griddle. Smash them down with a burger press. Season heavy. Let them crisp up, then flip once that bottom gets golden and crunchy. You're looking for a shatteringly crispy exterior with a fluffy center — that's the move.
The Build
Crispy smashed potatoes on the bottom. Steak right on top. Veggies to finish it off.
Simple. Savage. Done.
This is the kind of meal that looks like you spent all day on it but comes together in under 30 minutes on the flat top. One pan, one bowl, zero regrets.
