GARLIC BUTTER STEAK BITES AND MASH 🥩🧈🥔

Ingredients:
For the Steak Bites:
1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Mashed Potatoes:
2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, and sour cream. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
Step 2: Cook the Steak Bites
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the steak bites with salt and pepper. Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is melted, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Serve the garlic butter steak bites over a bed of mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
