Ingredients
Scale
For the Garlic Parmesan Steak Bites
- 1 pound steak (such as sirloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Mashed Potatoes
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the steak bites: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Incorporate seasonings and cheese: Add the butter, garlic powder, onion powder, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for 2 more minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and coat the steak bites evenly.
- Boil the potatoes: Meanwhile, place the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Mash the potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the heavy cream, milk, butter, and season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Plate the creamy mashed potatoes and top with the garlic Parmesan steak bites. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, let the steak bites marinate briefly with garlic powder and onion powder before cooking.
- You can substitute sirloin with ribeye or tenderloin for a different texture and flavor.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melting and taste.
- If you prefer a thicker mashed potato, reduce the milk slightly or add more butter.
- Ensure potatoes are peeled evenly to avoid lumps in mashed potatoes.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for larger groups.
