Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-size cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Mashed Potatoes
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Season the steak bites: In a bowl, toss the sirloin steak cubes with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated to infuse them with bold, smoky flavor.
- Sear the steak bites: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place half of the steak in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned and caramelized. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining steak cubes.
- Prepare the garlic butter sauce: Reduce heat to medium and add 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Toss steak in sauce: Return all the seared steak bites to the skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce and toss everything together to coat the steak evenly. Cook for an additional minute to meld the flavors.
- Finish with parsley and remove from heat: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites to add freshness and color. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
- Boil potatoes for mash: In a large pot, add peeled and cubed russet potatoes along with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain and mash potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Add butter, warm milk, sour cream, salt, and black pepper.
- Mash until smooth: Use a potato masher to mash all ingredients until the mixture is creamy and free of lumps, adjusting seasoning if needed.
- Serve: Plate the creamy mashed potatoes and spoon the garlic butter steak bites over the top for a hearty, comforting main dish.
Notes
- For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream to the mashed potatoes.
- You can substitute ribeye or New York strip steak for even more tenderness.
- Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce for a spicy kick.
