Ingredients
- - 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin cut into bite-size pieces
- - Salt and black pepper to taste
- - 1 tbsp olive oil
- - 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- - 4 cloves garlic minced
- - 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- - 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- For the mashed potatoes:
- - 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and chopped

- - 4 tbsp butter
- - Salt and pepper to taste
- - Chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season beef bites with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower heat and melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Return beef to the pan and coat in garlic butter. Sprinkle with parsley and red pepper flakes.
- Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and mash with cream, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Plate mashed potatoes and top with beef bites. Garnish with herbs. Serve hot.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet—cook beef in batches to get a nice sear.
- You can use cream cheese instead of heavy cream for richer mashed potatoes.
- Add mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
