9. Remove steak from skillet and pour remaining garlic butter over it.
10. Serve mashed potatoes topped with steak bites and drizzle with garlic butter. Garnish with parsley and chives.

Tips and Conclusion

For an added depth of flavor, consider deglazing the skillet after cooking the steak bites. Pour a splash of white wine or beef broth into the hot skillet, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Let it reduce slightly, then pour this pan sauce over the steak bites before serving. This technique enhances the dish with a rich, savory note.
