Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add heavy cream, milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy and smooth. Cover and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add beef bites to the skillet in a single layer. Sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
- Stir frequently, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant and beef is cooked through.
- Season beef bites with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the garlic butter beef bites over or alongside the creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the skillet after searing the beef to deglaze the pan before adding garlic and butter.
