Ingredients
Scale
For the Steak Bites:
- 1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
For the Creamy Mash:
- 2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes).
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Step 2: Cook the Steak Bites
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the steak bites with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak bites and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the garlic and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce until well-coated.
Step 3: Assemble and Serve
- Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates or a serving dish. Top with the garlic butter steak bites.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
