Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

Sure! Here’s a recipe for Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes.

Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin), cut into 1-inch cubes
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Season the Steak Bites: Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Steak Bites: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until hot. Add the steak bites in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Combine: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce.
5. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs (680g) baby potatoes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
3. Smash the Potatoes: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently smash each potato until it’s about 1/2-inch thick.
4. Season and Bake: Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden.
5. Add Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the potatoes with the shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve: Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
