Ingredients

For the Garlic Butter Steak Bites:

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Cheesy Smashed Potatoes:

1 lb baby potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

¼ cup sour cream

2 tablespoons milk

Salt and black pepper to taste

Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: Begin by boiling the baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Make Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy cheese sauce.

Smash the Potatoes: Return the drained potatoes to the pot and gently smash them using a fork or a potato masher. Add the olive oil and cheese mixture, then fold everything together until the potatoes are coated and creamy but still have some texture.

Cook the Steak Bites: While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and let it melt. Once the butter is sizzling, add the steak bites in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they reach your desired doneness.

Add Garlic and Thyme: Lower the heat to medium, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, and thyme to the skillet. Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

Serve It Up: To serve, place a generous spoonful of cheesy smashed potatoes on a plate. Top with the garlic butter steak bites and drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the top.

Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the steak bites and green onions over the smashed potatoes for an added pop of flavor and color.
