The right ingredients make all the difference in this dish. For your steak bites recipe, you need quality beef and fresh herbs. I recommend using 1 pound of beef sirloin. This cut is tender and cooks well for steak bites. Next, you need butter and garlic for that creamy garlic butter sauce. You will use three tablespoons of unsalted butter and four cloves of minced garlic.

Ingredients
  

1 lb beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized cubes

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup heavy cream

¼ cup beef broth

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced

½ cup milk

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons chives, chopped (for mashed potatoes)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

    Make the Mashed Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, sour cream, and chopped chives. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.

      Sear the Steak Bites: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.

        Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, and add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

          Create the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

            Combine Steak Bites with Sauce: Return the seared steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the creamy garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the steak is heated through and well coated.

              Serve: On a plate, create a bed of mashed potatoes and spoon the creamy garlic butter steak bites over the top. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the steak bites.

                Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for an added touch of color and flavor.
