Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking Fats and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Starch:
- 2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and cubed
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes by peeling and cubing, then submerge in cold, salted water in a large pot. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 15-18 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain potatoes completely and return to the pot. Mash thoroughly with milk and butter until achieving a smooth, velvety consistency. Season generously with salt and pepper, mixing well to distribute flavors evenly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until shimmering and nearly smoking, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully add steak bites in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes to develop a rich, golden-brown crust, aiming for medium-rare doneness.
- Transfer seared steak bites to a separate plate, leaving behind the flavorful fond in the skillet.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium-low and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Incorporate butter, thyme, and rosemary into the skillet, stirring continuously until butter melts and herbs release their aromatics.
- Return steak bites to the skillet, gently tossing to coat with the herb-infused garlic butter. Warm for an additional 45-60 seconds.
- Plate creamy mashed potatoes as a base, arranging steak bites on top. Drizzle remaining garlic butter over the dish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Choose tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye for the juiciest, most flavorful steak bites that melt in your mouth.
- Pat the steak dry before cooking to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming in the pan.
- Use high heat and cook steak bites in batches to maintain maximum temperature and achieve that delicious caramelized exterior.
- Allow steak to rest for a few minutes after cooking to help redistribute juices and keep the meat incredibly tender and succulent.
