Notes

For a cozy dinner, pair these steak bites with a side of crisp green beans or roasted asparagus for added color and nutrition. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the potatoes with a splash of milk and the steak bites gently in a skillet. Avoid freezing as it affects the texture of the mashed potatoes. Variations can include using chicken breast or shrimp instead of steak, cauliflower for low-carb mash, or incorporating herbs like chives or thyme for added flavor.
