Ingredients
For the Steak Bites:
1 pound sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
For the Mashed Potatoes:
2 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cubed)
1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain and return the potatoes to the pot.
Add heavy cream, butter, and sour cream (if using). Mash until smooth.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm.
2. Cook the Steak Bites:
Season the steak bites with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).
Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
Lower the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter. Cook for 1 minute to heat through.
4. Serve:
Plate a generous serving of mashed potatoes and top with garlic butter steak bites.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
