Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Herb Mashed

Potatoes

Ingredients:

For the Steak Bites:

• 1.5 lbs (700g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

For the Herb Mashed Potatoes:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup milk (or heavy cream for richer flavor)
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
   • Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
2. Mash the Potatoes:
   • Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and sour cream (if using).
   • Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped parsley, chives, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
3. Prepare the Steak Bites:
   • Season the steak bites with salt and pepper.
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches).
   • Cook the steak bites for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic.
   • Cook the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
   • Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
5. Serve:
   • Plate the herb mashed potatoes and top with the garlic butter steak bites.
   • Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
