Ingredients

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped

1/2 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: In a large pot, add the quartered Yukon Gold potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Cook the Steak Bites: While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add the steak bites. Season with salt and pepper. Sear for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and thyme. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Add Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, tossing to coat them well in the creamy garlic sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Finish the Mashed Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the whole milk and sour cream. Mash until smooth and creamy, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine and Serve: Plate the creamy garlic butter steak bites over a generous scoop of mashed potatoes. Drizzle any remaining garlic sauce over the steak and garnish with finely chopped chives.
