Ingredients
Scale
- For the Steak Bites:
- 1 lb steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Mashed Potatoes:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt to taste
- For the Green Beans:
- 1 lb green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Steak Bites: Season steak pieces with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak bites for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet.
- Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter, minced garlic, and thyme. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return the steak bites to the skillet, toss to coat them in the garlic butter, and remove from heat.
- Mashed Potatoes: Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 12-15 minutes). Drain, then mash with 2 tbsp butter, milk, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Green Beans: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the green beans, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil or a plant-based alternative.
- You can also swap out thyme for rosemary or parsley for a different herb flavor.
- Adjust the cooking time of the steak depending on your preferred doneness.
