Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 pound steak (such as sirloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Mashed Potatoes
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the steak bites: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned evenly on all sides.
- Add garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the steak and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
- Finish steak sauce: Stir in the butter, garlic powder, onion powder, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and coat the steak bites thoroughly.
- Boil potatoes: While the steak cooks, place peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Mash potatoes: Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash them with heavy cream, milk, and butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Plate the mashed potatoes and spoon the garlic Parmesan steak bites over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty, flavorful meal.
Notes
- Use sirloin or your preferred steak cut for best results.
- Make sure to not overcook the steak bites to maintain their tenderness.
- For extra richness, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or add more butter to the mashed potatoes.
- You can prepare the steak bites and mashed potatoes simultaneously to reduce overall cooking time.
- Leftover steak bites and mashed potatoes can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently.
