Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Mash 🥩🧈🥔
Ingredients:
For the Steak Bites:
1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces 🥩
4 tbsp unsalted butter 🧈
4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves 🌿 (optional)
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped 🌿 (optional)
For the Mash:
2 lbs (900g) potatoes, peeled and cubed 🥔
1/2 cup milk 🥛
4 tbsp unsalted butter 🧈
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
2 tbsp sour cream (optional) 🍶
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (optional) 🌿
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mash:
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and sour cream (if using).
Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in chopped chives, if desired. Keep warm.
2. Cook the Steak Bites:
Season the steak bites with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer, searing for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Once the steak bites are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt, then add the minced garlic.
Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the fresh thyme and parsley (if using).
4. Combine and Serve:
Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce until well coated.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Serve the garlic butter steak bites over the creamy mashed potatoes.
Enjoy this Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Mash for a comforting and flavorful meal! 🥩🧈🥔
