Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

Prepare the Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.

  2. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

  4. Gently smash them using a potato masher or the back of a fork, keeping some texture.

  5. Add olive oil, milk, sour cream, butter, and shredded cheese.

  6. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the potatoes are creamy.

  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

Cook the Garlic Butter Steak Bites

  1. Season the steak cubes generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Add the steak bites in a single layer, working in batches if needed.

  4. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until well browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.

  5. Reduce the heat to medium and push the steak to one side of the skillet.

  6. Add the butter to the empty side of the pan. Once melted, stir in the garlic, thyme, and rosemary.

  7. Cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant.

  8. Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter until evenly coated.

  9. Remove from heat and garnish with parsley if desired.
