Instructions

For the Steak Bites:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper.
3. Add the steak bites to the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes, turning to cook all sides until browned and crispy. Remove the steak bites and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes for the steak to absorb the flavor.
6. Garnish with chopped parsley (optional) and set aside.
For the Mashed Potatoes:
1. Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
3. Add butter, heavy cream (or milk), and garlic (if using) to the pot and mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped chives (optional).

Notes

You can substitute the steak with chicken or even shrimp for a variation of this dish.
If you prefer a creamier texture for the mashed potatoes, add a bit more butter or cream.
For a lower-carb option, swap mashed potatoes with cauliflower mash.
