Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients :

For the Steak Bites:
  • 1 lb steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Mashed Potatoes:
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt, to taste
For the Green Beans:
  • 1 lb green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preparation :

Step 1: Prepare the Steak Bites
  • Season the bite-sized steak pieces generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the butter is melted and hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  • Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme, stirring frequently. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
  • Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce until evenly coated. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the peeled and cubed potatoes to the pot and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and transfer them back into the pot.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the milk. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or an electric mixer until they are smooth and creamy.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt to taste, adjusting based on preference.
Step 4: Cook the Green Beans
  • In a medium-sized bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add the seasoned green beans.
  • Sauté the green beans for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred on the edges. Remove from heat.
Step 5: Assemble the Dish
  • Serve the garlic butter steak bites alongside a generous portion of mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter sauce over the steak and potatoes for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

Cooking Note :

  • Alternative Ingredients:
    For a dairy-free or vegan alternative, replace the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter substitute. You can also use almond or oat milk in the mashed potatoes.
  • Cooking the Steak:
    Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak bites. Overcrowding can cause the steak to steam instead of sear, leading to less flavorful and less crispy steak pieces.
