Prepare the Cheesy Smashed Potatoes
-
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
-
Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
-
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
-
Gently smash them using a potato masher or the back of a fork, keeping some texture.
-
Add olive oil, milk, sour cream, butter, and shredded cheese.
-
Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the potatoes are creamy.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
Cook the Garlic Butter Steak Bites
-
Season the steak cubes generously with salt and black pepper.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the steak bites in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
-
Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until well browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
-
Reduce the heat to medium and push the steak to one side of the skillet.
-
Add the butter to the empty side of the pan. Once melted, stir in the garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
-
Cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant.
-
Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter until evenly coated.
-
Remove from heat and garnish with parsley if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the garlic butter steak bites hot alongside the cheesy smashed potatoes. For a complete meal, add a simple green salad or roasted vegetables. The richness of the garlic butter pairs well with something fresh and lightly dressed.
