Ingredients:
For the Steak Bites:
1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mash:
2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Mash:
Cook Potatoes: Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Mash Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add milk and butter. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the Steak Bites:
Cook Steak Bites: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Make Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add butter, thyme, and rosemary. Stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is lightly browned.
Combine: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Plate the steak bites over a bed of mashed potatoes. Spoon any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the top.
