Instructions

Cook the Bacon: In a large cast-iron skillet, cook the thick-cut bacon strips over medium heat until crispy. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon, reserving the rendered bacon grease in the skillet. Chop the crispy bacon and set aside for later use in the Palmini mash.

Prepare the Steak: While the bacon cooks, place the cubed chuck eye steak in a bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.

Sear the Steak: Increase the heat of the skillet with the bacon grease to medium-high. Add the seasoned steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a nice crust develops and the steak is about 75% cooked through. Remove the seared steak from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: In the same skillet, with the remaining steak and bacon drippings, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and thinly sliced white onion. Sauté over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. The mushrooms and onions will absorb the rich flavors from the pan.

Prepare the Loaded Palmini Mash: While the mushrooms and onions are cooking, open the Palmini mash pouches and drain any liquid. Pour the Palmini mash into a medium saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, half of the chopped crispy bacon, and half of the chopped green onions. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through. Let it simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

Finish the Steak Mixture: Return to the sautéed mushrooms and onions in the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the minced garlic to the pan, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the seared steak back into the pan with the mushrooms and onions. Drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and honey.
⏱️ 3 min
- 7
Combine and Serve: Mix all ingredients in the skillet well, ensuring the steak is fully coated and finishes cooking through. Allow the flavors to meld for another 2-3 minutes. To serve, spread a generous portion of the loaded Palmini mash onto individual plates. Top with the steak, mushroom, and onion mixture. Garnish with the remaining chopped green onions and fresh chopped parsley.
