Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 large potatoes (peeled and cubed)
Cooking Fats and Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Garnish and Dairy:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Submerge potatoes in generously salted water, simmering until fork-pierced softness emerges, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes thoroughly, then transform into silky mash using robust whisking motions, incorporating butter, milk, salt, and pepper until luxuriously smooth.
- Pat steak bites completely dry using paper towels to ensure optimal caramelization during cooking.
- Preheat skillet to medium-high heat, drizzling olive oil to create a sizzling surface.
- Season steak bites with robust salt and cracked pepper, ensuring even coating.
- Carefully place seasoned steak bites into hot skillet, allowing each side to develop a rich golden-brown crust, roughly 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer perfectly seared steak bites onto a clean plate, preserving their succulent texture.
- Reduce skillet heat, introducing butter and minced garlic, allowing aromatics to release fragrant notes for approximately 60 seconds.
- Reintroduce steak bites into garlic-infused butter, gently tossing to coat and warm through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Elegantly arrange creamy mashed potatoes as a luxurious base, crowning with glistening garlic butter steak bites.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant finishing touch to this hearty meal.
Notes
- Choose tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye for the most succulent steak bites that melt in your mouth.
- Patting steak dry before seasoning ensures a perfect golden-brown crust that seals in all the delicious juices.
- Use room temperature steak to guarantee even cooking and prevent tough, chewy meat.
- For a lighter version, swap regular butter with ghee or use less butter and add fresh herbs for extra flavor without extra calories.
