Ingredients
Scale
For the Garlic Parmesan Beef Chops:
- 4 bone-in or boneless beef chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Chops:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, parsley, grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, thyme, and Italian seasoning.
Rub the beef chops with olive oil and then coat them evenly with the garlic parmesan mixture. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes. - Prepare the Scalloped Potatoes:
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream, whole milk, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, remove from heat and stir in 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated parmesan cheese. Set aside. - Assemble the Scalloped Potatoes:
Arrange the sliced potatoes in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, overlapping slightly. Pour the cheesy cream mixture over the potatoes, making sure they are evenly covered. - Cook the Beef Chops:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef chops and sear each side for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
Transfer the beef chops to a baking sheet and place them in the oven to finish cooking for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. - Bake the Scalloped Potatoes:
While the beef chops are cooking, cover the baking dish with foil and bake the scalloped potatoes for 30-35 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once the beef chops are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve the beef chops alongside the cheesy scalloped potatoes and garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a layer of caramelized onions between the potato slices.
- If you prefer a different cheese, you can substitute the cheddar with Gruyère or mozzarella.
- You can make the scalloped potatoes ahead of time and bake them just before serving.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle additional cheese on top of the potatoes during the final 10 minutes of baking.
