Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
For the Cheesy Smashed Potatoes:
1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
Smash the Potatoes:
Place the cooked potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass or a potato masher to gently smash each potato to flatten it slightly.
Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Add the Cheese:
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the smashed potatoes.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Prepare the Steak Bites:
While the potatoes are baking, season the steak cubes with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter sauce until well coated. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve:
Transfer the cheesy smashed potatoes to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve the garlic butter steak bites alongside the cheesy smashed potatoes.
