Delicious Garlic Butter Beef Bites With Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Tender, juicy beef bites seared in garlicky butter and served over creamy mashed potatoes. A cozy, family-approved dinner ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
For the beef bites:
- 1 pound beef steak sirloin or ribeye, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
For the creamy mashed potatoes:
- 4 large russet or Yukon gold potatoes peeled and chunked
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup whole milk or heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Let the steak rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels. Cut into bite-sized cubes and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a hot skillet and sear the beef in a single layer for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Work in batches if needed.
- Lower the heat, add butter, and let it melt until foamy. Stir in minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce, cooking just until fragrant. Toss the beef so each piece is coated in the buttery sauce.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add more milk if needed for extra creaminess.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates, pile the garlic butter beef bites on top, and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle fresh parsley for a bright finish.
