Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Mash
Ingredients:
For the Steak Bites:
1 ½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mashed Potatoes:
2 lbs potatoes (Yukon gold or Russet), peeled and cubed
½ cup heavy cream (or milk)
4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
2️⃣ Mash the Potatoes:
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tbsp of butter and sauté 2 cloves of minced garlic until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Add the butter mixture and heavy cream to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and set aside to keep warm.
3️⃣ Cook the Steak Bites:
While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak bites with salt and pepper. Add the steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove the steak bites and set aside.
4️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter:
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add 3 tbsp of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the fresh thyme and parsley.
5️⃣ Combine Steak and Garlic Butter:
Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce until they are evenly coated.
6️⃣ Serve:
Plate the creamy mashed potatoes and top with the garlic butter steak bites. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious meal
