The combination of succulent Garlic Butter Steak Bites paired with creamy Cheesy Smashed Potatoes offers a satisfying and effortless full-course meal, perfect for unwinding after a busy day, making it a delightful option for any weekday.

Ingredients:

For the steak bites:

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into cubes

2 tablespoons garlic, minced

4 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the smashed potatoes:

1 pound baby potatoes

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

To start the potato preparation, cook the baby potatoes in salted water until they are soft, which usually takes around 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for a short period. Next, heat a griddle over medium-high heat to prepare for the next cooking step.

Place the potatoes onto the griddle and gently press down with a spatula. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Allow them to cook until they turn golden and crispy, approximately 10 minutes on each side.

Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the potatoes and allow it to melt through heat. Once melted, take the dish off the heat and delicately embellish it with finely chopped chives.

Prepare the Steak Bites:

Preheat the griddle on high heat and then incorporate the butter. Subsequently, when the butter has melted and developed a foamy consistency, introduce the minced garlic and cook until it releases its aromatic fragrance, which usually takes approximately 1 minute.

Place the steak bites onto the griddle, season them evenly with salt and pepper, and allow them to cook until they achieve a rich brown color on all sides, typically taking around 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, carefully take them off the heat and delicately sprinkle chopped parsley as a garnish.

Present the garlic butter steak bites together with the cheesy smashed potatoes.
