Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 500° and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and gruyère. Spread out in an even layer and bake until golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Rotate sheet pan if necessary.
  2. Preheat large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add remaining tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Dry steak with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. When butter starts to bubble add steak in a single layer; sear meat until browned, 4 minutes, then flip and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate covered loosely with foil to rest.
  3. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add remaining tablespoon butter and flour; whisk for 3 minutes. Add whiskey, broth, salt, and pepper; simmer for 5 minutes. Finish with cream and parsley.
  4. Cut steak against the grain into thin slices, then add back to sauce in skillet. Garnish with parsley and add shoestring cheese potatoes to skillet. Serve immediately.
