Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter is sizzling, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest under foil while you make the sides.
To prepare the tangy corn relish, wipe the same skillet clean. Add the corn kernels, red bell pepper, and red onion to the skillet over medium heat. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are lightly charred and fragrant.
Stir in the lime juice, honey, and diced jalapeño (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and remove from heat. Transfer the relish to a bowl and keep warm.
For the cheese and scallion smash, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and minced garlic over low heat until warmed through. Add the garlic-infused cream, shredded cheddar cheese, 4 tablespoons of butter, and half of the scallions to the potatoes. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
To plate, divide the cheese and scallion mashed potatoes among four plates. Top each plate with a steak, then spoon the tangy corn relish over the top or to the side. Garnish with the remaining scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, crowd-pleasing dish!
