Absolutely! This Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes recipe is a showstopper — easy to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients:
For the Steak Bites:
1.5 lbs sirloin or tenderloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
Fresh chopped parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
For the Cheesy Smashed Potatoes:
1.5 lbs baby potatoes
Salt, for boiling
2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper, to taste
Chopped chives, for garnish
Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Directions:
1. Boil the Potatoes:
In a large pot, boil the baby potatoes with salted water until fork-tender (about 15–20 minutes). Drain and place on a greased baking sheet.
2. Smash & Season:
Use the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato. Drizzle with olive oil or butter, season with salt and pepper, and top with shredded cheese.
3. Bake:
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and crispy.
4. Cook the Steak Bites:
While the potatoes bake, season steak pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from pan and set aside.
5. Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, then return the steak to the pan and toss in the garlic butter.
6. Serve:
Plate the cheesy smashed potatoes with steak bites. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, and add a dollop of sour cream if desired.
