Instructions
Let’s Get Cozy in the Kitchen
As the aroma of garlic and butter wafts through the air, let’s cook up a storm that will leave you and your loved ones singing for more.
- Warm Hearts and Potatoes: While our potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. As the oil glistens, let’s get our steak game on. Season those steak cubes with salt and pepper, because a pinch of magic makes all the difference.
- The Perfect Blend: Once the skillet is hot, add the steak bites in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect – it’s all about the imperfections that make life delicious.
- Savor the Flavor: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Now, it’s time to bring the flavors together. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine in perfect harmony.
- Mash Magic: While our steak bites are cooking, let’s prepare the stars of the show – our mashed potatoes. Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and sour cream (if using), and mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finishing Touches: Plate the mashed potatoes and top with the garlicbetter steak bites. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Get Ready to Savor: Prep Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 33 mins | Servings: 8
