Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Place 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 potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef bites with salt and pepper.
- Add half the butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add beef bites to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the remaining butter, milk, and sour cream. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve beef bites over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle the beef bites with a pinch of smoked paprika before cooking or add roasted garlic to the mashed potatoes.
