Ingredients
Beef Ingredients
- 1 lb beef steak sirloin or ribeye, cut into bite-sized pieces Choose quality meat for better flavor.
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Potato Ingredients
- 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter for mash

Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by placing the peeled potatoes in a pot filled with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Sauté the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the beef bites, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set it aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the beef to the skillet with the garlic butter, stirring to coat the pieces. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of butter. Mash until creamy and season with salt to taste.
- Serve: Plate a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, topped with those succulent beef bites. Garnish with chives if using, and dig in!
