Ingredients
Scale
- 6 boneless beef chuck chops
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups thinly sliced Russet potatoes

Instructions
- Pat the beef chops dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chops for 3-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

- Let rest for 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set.
