Ingredients:
For the Steak Bites:
1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Mashed Potatoes:
2 lbs (900g) potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (adjust as needed)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
For the Steak Bites:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper.
Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Let them sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Add the minced garlic, butter, and fresh thyme (if using). Stir to coat the steak bites in the garlic butter sauce.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant and the steak to absorb the flavors.
Remove from heat and set aside.
For the Mashed Potatoes:
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and mash until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the heavy cream or milk until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic (if using) and stir to combine.
To Serve:
Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and top with the garlic butter steak bites.
Garnish with fresh herbs (optional) and serve immediately.
