GARLIC BUTTER STEAK BITES AND MASH

Certainly! Here’s a recipe for garlic butter steak bites served with mashed potatoes:

1.5 lbs (680g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Prepare the Steak:
- Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper.
Cook the Steak:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak bites in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.
Make the Garlic Butter:
- In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Combine and Serve:
- Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately with mashed potatoes.

Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Mash the Potatoes:
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the butter, milk, and heavy cream.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Plate the Dish:
- Serve the garlic butter steak bites alongside a generous serving of mashed potatoes.
- Optionally, drizzle any extra garlic butter sauce over the potatoes for added flavor.

Enjoy your delicious meal!
