02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
07 - ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

→ Creamy Mashed Potatoes

10 - 4 large russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chunked
11 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 - ½ cup whole milk or heavy cream
13 - ½ teaspoon salt
14 - ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
15 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
16 - Fresh parsley for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Let steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
02 - Peel and cut potatoes into uniform chunks. Place in a pot and cover with cold water, adding a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add beef in a single layer without overcrowding; sear 2-3 minutes per side until golden-brown crust forms.
04 - Reduce heat to medium, add butter and melt until foamy. Stir in minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Toss beef to coat evenly in garlic butter.
05 - Once potatoes are fork-tender (15-20 minutes), drain and return to pot. Add butter, milk or cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mash to desired smoothness, adding extra milk as needed.
06 - Plate creamy mashed potatoes and top with garlic butter beef bites. Drizzle remaining garlic butter from the pan over the dish. Garnish with fresh parsley.

# Notes:

01 - Allowing the steak to sit at room temperature ensures even cooking and a better sear.
