Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Herb Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

For the Steak Bites:

• 1.5 lbs (680 g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

For the Herb Mashed Potatoes:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup milk (adjust for desired consistency)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
   • Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
   • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
   • Add the butter, milk, and sour cream to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
   • Stir in the chopped chives and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
2. Cook the Steak Bites:
   • Season the steak bites with salt and black pepper.
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
   • Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant.
   • Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter to coat them evenly. Remove from heat.
3. Serve:
   • Plate the garlic butter steak bites and herb mashed potatoes.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley.
   • Serve immediately and enjoy!
