Ingredients
Scale
Beef Chops
- 4 Beef chops, bone-in or boneless
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Parsley, fresh, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Butter
Scalloped Potatoes
- 4 large Potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Thyme, dried
- 1 tsp Thyme, fresh, chopped
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Chops: Season the beef chops generously with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. Set aside to let the flavors meld while preparing the potatoes.
- Cook the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, dried and fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Layer half of the potatoes in a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and parmesan cheeses over the potatoes. Add the remaining potatoes and top with the rest of the cheese. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Bake the Scalloped Potatoes: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 45-55 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
- Cook the Beef Chops: While the potatoes bake, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve: Plate the garlic parmesan beef chops alongside a generous serving of cheesy scalloped potatoes. Garnish the beef with fresh parsley for a bright finish. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a mandoline or very sharp knife for even potato slices to ensure uniform cooking.
- Bone-in beef chops tend to have more flavor but cook slightly slower than boneless.
- Letting the beef chops rest after cooking helps retain juices for a tender bite.
- For a lighter option, substitute whole milk and heavy cream with half-and-half or milk alternatives.
- Leftover scalloped potatoes can be reheated in the oven covered with foil to maintain moisture.
