      \n
    • 4 large potatoes<\/strong>, peeled and chopped into chunks<\/li>\n
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • 1\/2 cup whole milk<\/strong> or heavy cream<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • 1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/strong><\/li>\n

      \u00a0Instructions<\/h3>\n

      1. Prepare the Beef:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
        \n
      • Let the beef sit at room temperature for 20 minutes<\/strong> before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.<\/li>\n
      • Pat the beef dry with paper towels \u2014 removing surface moisture gives a better sear.<\/li>\n
      • Season the beef cubes with salt, black pepper<\/strong>, and red pepper flakes<\/strong> (if using). Set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        2. Sear the Beef Bites:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
          \n
        • Heat olive oil<\/strong> in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        • Add beef in a single layer<\/strong> \u2014 do not overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2\u20133 minutes per side<\/strong>, or until a golden-brown crust forms.<\/li>\n
        • Remove cooked beef to a plate and repeat with remaining pieces if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
            \n
          • Reduce heat to medium<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
          • In the same skillet, add butter<\/strong>, followed by minced garlic<\/strong> and Worcestershire sauce<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
          • Cook for 1\u20132 minutes<\/strong>, stirring constantly, until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.<\/li>\n
          • Return the beef to the skillet and toss to coat<\/strong> in the garlic butter sauce.<\/li>\n
          • Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            4. Boil the Potatoes:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
              \n
            • While the beef is cooking, place peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
            • Cover with cold, salted water<\/strong> and bring to a boil.<\/li>\n
            • Reduce heat and simmer for 15\u201320 minutes<\/strong>, or until potatoes are fork-tender.<\/li>\n
            • Drain and return the potatoes to the pot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              5. Mash the Potatoes:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                \n
              • Add butter<\/strong>, milk or cream<\/strong>, salt<\/strong>, pepper<\/strong>, and garlic powder<\/strong> (if using).<\/li>\n
              • Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash until smooth and creamy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
              • Adjust texture with more milk or butter as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \u00a0Assemble & Serve:<\/h3>\n
                  \n
                • Spoon a generous serving of mashed potatoes<\/strong> onto each plate.<\/li>\n
                • Top with hot garlic butter beef bites<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                • Drizzle any remaining garlic butter sauce from the pan over the top.<\/li>\n
                • Garnish with extra chopped parsley<\/strong> for color and freshness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      \n
                    • Choose the right cut:<\/strong> Sirloin and ribeye are both great options because they stay tender and juicy, even when cooked quickly.<\/li>\n
                    • Don\u2019t skip the resting time<\/strong> for the beef before cooking \u2014 it ensures even cooking and better flavor.<\/li>\n

                    • Meal prep friendly:<\/strong> Store the beef and mashed potatoes separately in airtight containers. Reheat gently for best results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
