How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Gravy Over Mashed Sweet Potatoes

1. Cook the Sweet Potatoes

Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.

2. Make the Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Mash the sweet potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Cover to keep warm.

3. Season & Sear the Steak Bites

In a bowl, toss the steak cubes with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

Reduce heat to medium-low. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and fresh parsley. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat. Remove from heat.

5. Make the Gravy

In a separate small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until golden. Slowly whisk in the beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.

6. Assemble & Serve

Spoon mashed sweet potatoes onto plates. Top with the garlic butter steak bites and drizzle with the rich gravy. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with roasted asparagus or green beans.
• Serve with a side salad for a balanced meal.
• Top with crispy fried onions for extra texture.

Storage & Reheating Tips

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm steak bites in a skillet over low heat and add a splash of beef broth to keep them juicy. Reheat mashed sweet potatoes in the microwave with a little milk.
• Freeze: Mashed sweet potatoes can be frozen for up to 2 months. Steak bites are best enjoyed fresh.
