Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season beef bites with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in thyme.
- Return beef bites to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the garlic butter sauce. Remove from heat.
- Drain the cooked potatoes well and return to the pot. Add whole milk, sour cream, cream cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Serve beef bites over the creamy mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra richness, drizzle a little extra garlic butter sauce over the mashed potatoes before serving.
