Garlic Butter Beef Bites with Creamy Mashed Potatoes

recip


2. Cook the Beef Bites

  1. Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef bites in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding) and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

  1. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Add the fresh thyme, rosemary, and optional beef broth or red wine (if using). Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
  3. Return the beef bites to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Spoon the creamy mashed potatoes onto plates or a serving platter.
  2. Top with the garlic butter beef bites and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
  3. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired, and serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with steamed green beans, roasted carrots, or a side salad for added freshness.
  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Choose the Right Cut: Sirloin, flank steak, or ribeye work best for tender, flavorful beef bites.
  • Don’t Overcook the Beef: Sear just until browned and cooked through to keep the bites juicy and tender.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the mashed potatoes ahead of time and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or milk to restore creaminess.
  • Add Umami Depth: Stir in a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce into the garlic butter sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
