Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized chunks pat dry before cooking
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced use fresh garlic for aroma
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for garlic butter sauce
  • 4 large potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons milk warm for smoothing mash
  • to taste salt and pepper seasoning for potatoes and steak

Equipment

  • Skillet or cast-iron pan
  • Pot for boiling
  • Masher or fork
  • Knives for chopping
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the peeled, chopped potatoes; cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the potatoes cook, pat the steak chunks dry with paper towels to reduce splatter and ensure a good sear.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once shimmering, add the steak chunks in a single layer, searing until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the steak and set aside.
  4. Add the minced garlic and butter to the same skillet; cook over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir well to combine.
  5. Return the seared steak to the skillet, toss to coat in garlic butter, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through and well coated.
  6. Meanwhile, mash the cooked potatoes using a potato masher or fork. Mix in warm milk gradually until the mash is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the hot steak bites alongside a generous scoop of creamy mashed potatoes. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the steak for extra flavor.
