If you’re looking for a comforting dish that’s sure to impress, Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Mashed Potatoes is a great choice! This flavorful meal combines tender steak bites with creamy mashed potatoes for a truly satisfying dining experience. Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup milk (adjust as needed)
Directions
1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
Start by boiling the peeled Yukon gold potatoes in salted water. Cook them until they are fork-tender, which usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Once the potatoes are soft, drain them, and put them back in the pot. Now, add the heavy cream, some butter, and a splash of milk. Mash everything together until it’s nice and smooth. If you want a creamier consistency, feel free to add a little more milk. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste and keep them warm on low heat.
2. Cook the Steak Bites
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and sear for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn beautifully brown. Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.
Lower the heat to medium, and add butter to the skillet. Let it melt, then toss in the minced garlic. Cook for just about a minute to let those lovely flavors come out. Now, return the steak bites to the skillet and give everything a good toss so the steak is well coated in that delicious garlic butter. Finally, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a splash of color.
3. Assemble and Serve
To serve, place a generous helping of your creamy mashed potatoes on a plate. Pile those savory garlic butter steak bites right on top. If you have any remaining garlic butter in the skillet, drizzle it over the steak. Serve hot and enjoy!
