For the Steak Bites:
1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-size cubes
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
For the Mashed Potatoes:
2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup milk (adjust to desired creaminess)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup sour cream for extra creaminess
Prepare Mashed Potatoes:
Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Add sour cream if desired. Keep warm.
Cook Steak Bites:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in batches, sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Avoid overcrowding.
Add Garlic and Butter:
Return all steak to the pan. Add butter and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat steak evenly.
Add Parmesan:
Sprinkle grated Parmesan over steak bites. Stir to coat and let it melt slightly.
Serve:
Serve steak bites over mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Use sirloin or ribeye for best flavor and tenderness.
You can add a splash of beef broth for a slight gravy effect.
Adjust garlic and cheese to taste.
