Indulge in a comforting classic that the whole family will love! Perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions!   

🍽️  Ingredients 🍽️  
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme  
- 2 lbs 900 g potatoes, peeled and cubed  
- 1/2 cup milk  
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter  
- 1 lb 450 g sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces  
- Salt and pepper to taste  
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter  
- 4 cloves garlic, minced  
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil  
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. Prepare the Mash: Start by placing the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, which takes about 15 minutes.  
2. Mash Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk and butter, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.  
3. Cook Steak Bites: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in batches to ensure they cook evenly and don’t overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.  
4. Make Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the butter, thyme, and rosemary, stirring until the butter melts and the garlic starts to turn golden.  
5. Combine: Return the cooked steak bites back to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter for an additional minute to heat through. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.  
6. Serve: Plate the garlic butter steak bites over a generous helping of mashed potatoes. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the steak for extra flavor.

💡 Tips and Tricks 💡  
- For extra creaminess in your mashed potatoes, consider using sour cream or cream cheese!  
- You can interchange the herbs used in the garlic butter depending on what you have on hand; fresh herbs can bring a vibrant flavor.  
- Don't rush the browning of the garlic; too high heat can lead to a burnt taste!
