Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.
- In a small saucepan, heat milk and heavy cream over low heat until warm.
- Mash the potatoes, then gradually add the warm milk and cream mixture, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy and smooth. Keep warm.
- Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef bites, season with salt, pepper, and thyme, and cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the beef is coated in garlic butter.
- Remove from heat. Serve the garlic butter beef bites over or alongside the creamy mashed potatoes.
- Garnish with chopped chives and additional thyme if desired.
Notes
For extra richness, try adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the mashed potatoes just before serving.
