Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 ½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Mashed Potatoes
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and cubed Yukon gold potatoes and cook for 15–20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot.
- Mash Potatoes: Add butter, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, then cover to keep warm.
- Sear Steak Bites: Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak bites dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Add the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic, sautéing for 1–2 minutes until fragrant while scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Toss Steak in Garlic Butter: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the garlic butter.
- Add Parmesan and Parsley: Sprinkle the steak bites with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, mixing lightly to combine and melt the cheese slightly.
- Serve: Plate the garlic Parmesan steak bites over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and serve hot.
Notes
- For an added burst of flavor, finish the steak bites with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- You can substitute sirloin with ribeye or New York strip steak for a richer, more marbled cut.
