Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Mash Simple Comfort Dish
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- for garnish fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Over low heat, add heavy cream, sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of butter to the potatoes. Mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cover to keep warm.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites to the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear for about 2-3 minutes without moving them, until browned, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
- Lower the heat to medium. Push the steak bites to the side of the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Stir to combine and let the garlic sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter mixture until evenly coated. Remove from heat.
- Divide the creamy mashed potatoes between plates, spoon the garlic butter steak bites over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
💡 Chef's Notes
For extra flavor, let the steak marinate in olive oil and herbs for an hour before cooking.
