Description
Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes is a must-try dish that combines tender steak bites cooked in garlic butter with creamy, cheesy smashed potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
- While the potatoes are cooling, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt.
- Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper. Once the butter is hot, add the steak to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- While the steak is cooking, prepare the smashed potatoes. Place the boiled potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a fork or potato masher to gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
- In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon this mixture over the smashed potatoes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the smashed potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the garlic butter steak bites alongside the cheesy smashed potatoes for a delicious meal.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
