Garlic Butter Beef Mashed Potatoes (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Beef Bites

01 - 1 pound beef steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into 1-inch chunks
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
07 - ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
08 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
09 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

→ Creamy Mashed Potatoes

10 - 4 large russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chunked
11 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - ½ cup whole milk or heavy cream
13 - ½ teaspoon salt
14 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
15 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
16 - Fresh parsley for garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Let your steak sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to take the chill off. Pat it completely dry, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Season generously with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional).
02 - Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks. Place in a pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Cook beef pieces in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until golden-brown. Work in batches if necessary.
04 - Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Melt until foamy, then add minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Toss the beef in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly.
05 - Simmer potatoes for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well and return to the hot pot. Add butter, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mash to desired consistency, adding more milk if needed.
06 - Scoop mashed potatoes onto each plate. Top with beef bites and drizzle with garlic butter from the skillet. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Room temperature steak sears better, ensuring a flavorful crust.
02 - Using heavy cream in the mashed potatoes makes them extra rich.
03 - Avoid overcooking the beef for tender, juicy results.
