Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 16 oz ribeye steak, cubed
- 2 tbsp steak seasoning
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
- Oil for coating
Mashed Potatoes
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 8 tbsp butter
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Gravy
- 2 cups beef broth
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 cube beef bouillon
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup cold water
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cube a well-marbled ribeye steak and lightly coat the pieces with oil. Season the steak cubes evenly with steak seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to infuse them with robust flavor.
- Cook the Potatoes: Peel the Yukon gold potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Boil the potato chunks in salted water until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Mash the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and rice them for a smooth texture. Add 8 tablespoons of butter, half a cup of milk, 1 cup sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create rich and creamy mashed potatoes.
- Make the Gravy Base: In a saucepan, combine beef broth, butter, beef bouillon cube, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat to develop the flavors.
- Thicken the Gravy: In a small bowl, mix cold water and cornstarch to make a slurry. Slowly pour this into the simmering broth while whisking constantly until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Steak Bites: Heat a skillet over high heat and cook the seasoned steak cubes, stirring every couple of minutes to brown all sides evenly. Once browned, add 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and fresh parsley. Stir to coat the steak bites in the fragrant butter and herbs.
- Assemble the Dish: Serve the sizzling steak bites on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes. Generously ladle the savory beef gravy over the top and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy immediately for best flavor.
Notes
