Ingredients
  

1 lb beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lb russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

½ cup milk (or cream for extra richness)

¼ cup sour cream

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Start by placing the cubed potatoes into a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

    Sauté the Steak Bites: While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cubed beef sirloin to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides.

      Add Garlic and Butter: Reduce the heat to medium. Push the steak bites to one side of the skillet and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter melts, stir in the minced garlic and then toss it all together, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.

        Drain and Mash the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the pot and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, milk, and sour cream. Mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine and Serve: Plate the creamy mashed potatoes and top with the garlic butter steak bites. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the steak bites.

            Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a touch of color and freshness.

                - Presentation Tips: For an appealing presentation, use a large serving platter or individual plates. Swirl the mashed potatoes into a cloud shape using a spoon and neatly arrange the steak bites on top. A sprig of parsley adds a lovely green contrast!
