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 ❗

Preparation Method

Prepare the Mash:
Cook the Potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. 🥔💧❗

Mash the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk and butter. Mash until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while you prepare the steak bites. 🥛🧈❗

Prepare the Steak Bites:
Cook the Steak Bites: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your preferred level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside. 🥩⛽

Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the butter, thyme, and rosemary, stirring until the butter is melted and the garlic is lightly browned. 🧄🧈🌿

Combine: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and toss them to coat in the garlic butter. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 🥩🧄🧈❗

Serve:
Plate the Dish: Serve the steak bites over a bed of mashed potatoes. Spoon any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the top for added flavor. 🍽️
Tips and Variations:
Steak Doneness: Adjust the cooking time for the steak bites based on your preferred level of doneness. For a more well-done steak, cook each side a bit longer. 🥩
Add Veggies: Complement the dish with steamed vegetables or a fresh side salad for a complete meal. Consider green beans, asparagus, or a simple mixed green salad. 🥦🍅
Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs such as parsley or oregano for a different flavor profile. 🌿
