Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Mash

  

✅️Ingredients:

↪️For the Garlic Butter Steak Bites:

1½ lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

↪️For the Mashed Potatoes:

2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

½ cup heavy cream (or milk)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

¼ cup sour cream (optional for creaminess)

Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

✅️Instructions:

👉Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:

🔹️In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.

🔹️Add the peeled and chopped potatoes, cooking until tender (about 15-20 minutes).

🔹️Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

🔹️Add heavy cream, butter, and sour cream (if using). Mash until smooth and creamy.

🔹️Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

👉Cook the Steak Bites:

🔹️While the potatoes are cooking, season the steak bites with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).

🔹️In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.

🔹️Once melted, add the steak bites in a single layer.

🔹️Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

🔹️Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.

🔹️In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

🔹️Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

🔹️Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce.

👉Serve and Garnish:

🔹️Serve the garlic butter steak bites over a generous portion of mashed potatoes.

🔹️Garnish with fresh parsley over the steak bites and chives over the mashed potatoes for a pop of color and added flavor.

👉Notes:

🔹️For a richer flavor, consider using herb butter instead of regular butter when cooking the garlic and steak.

🔹️Adjust the garlic amount based on your preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.

🔹️If you prefer a leaner option, use sirloin or tenderloin for the steak bites.
