Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
- Peel and chop potatoes, boil until tender (15-20 minutes), then mash with butter, milk/cream, and salt. Keep warm.
Cook the Beef Bites:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook beef cubes for 3-4 minutes, then reduce heat. Add butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant and beef is tender.
Serve:
- Spoon mashed potatoes onto plates and top with garlic butter beef bites. Spoon the garlic butter sauce from the pan over the beef and potatoes for extra flavor.

Customize with herbs like rosemary or thyme in the mashed potatoes.

For a richer garlic butter sauce, add heavy cream.

For a spicier twist, add chili flakes to the beef mixture.
