Ingredients
For the Steak
1½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp cracked black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
For the Mashed Potatoes
2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 tbsp butter
¾ cup heavy cream
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until they are very tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain them well so the mashed potatoes stay thick and creamy.
While the potatoes are still hot, mash them until smooth. Stir in the butter first so it melts into the potatoes. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the potatoes become creamy, fluffy, and well combined. Cover and keep warm.
Season the steak cubes evenly with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and cracked black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes so a golden crust forms. Flip the pieces and cook until browned on all sides and cooked to your preferred doneness.
Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. As the butter melts, spoon the garlic butter over the steak bites for a minute or two until they are glossy and fully coated.
Spoon the creamy Parmesan mashed potatoes onto serving plates. Top with the garlic butter steak bites and drizzle any extra garlic butter from the pan over the top.
Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
