Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Mash

Ingredients

For the Steak Bites:

  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak or ribeye, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

For the Mashed Potatoes:

  • 2 lbs (900g) potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • ½ cup heavy cream or milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Make the Mashed Potatoes:

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  3. Add heavy cream (or milk), butter, and garlic (if using). Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover to keep warm.

2. Cook the Steak Bites:

  1. Pat the steak pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the steak pieces in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and sear for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak bites and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  1. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 1 minute.

4. Serve:
Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and top with the garlic butter steak bites. Drizzle any extra sauce from the skillet over the steak. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

This dish is a perfect balance of rich, buttery steak bites and creamy mashed potatoes. Comfort food at its finest—enjoy!
