Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) beef steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for potatoes)
- 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp salt (for potatoes)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (for potatoes)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Let steak sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat dry and cut into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear beef in a single layer for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if necessary.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Toss beef to coat. Sprinkle with parsley.
- Place peeled and chopped potatoes in a pot. Cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Add butter, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust liquid if needed.
- Plate mashed potatoes, top with steak bites, and drizzle with remaining garlic butter. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Ribeye offers more marbling and flavor, while sirloin is leaner.
- Use a cast iron skillet for best searing results.
- Warm the milk or cream before adding to potatoes for better absorption.
- Leftovers can be stored for 3 days and reheated gently with added moisture.
