Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • to garnish fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 lbs Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 tablespoons butter (for mashed potatoes)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (more if needed for texture)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar (optional for extra creaminess)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large pot for boiling potatoes
  • Potato masher or ricer
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Boil cubed potatoes in well-salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  2. Add butter, heavy cream, sour cream, and cheese to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pat the steak cubes dry and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from skillet.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Return the steak to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter.
  7. Serve mashed potatoes topped with garlic butter beef and drizzle with remaining garlic butter sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Always pat the beef cubes dry for a good sear and avoid overcrowding the pan. You can substitute the steak with tenderloin or other cuts; longer cooking may be needed for tougher cuts. For a lighter version, consider using steamed cauliflower mixed with potatoes. Store leftovers in airtight containers; they’ll keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to retain texture.
