Ingredients
Mashed Potatoes:
- 1.5 lb. potatoes about 5 or 6 medium, Russet or Yukon Gold
- 2 Tbsp clarified butter or ghee
- 1/4 cup milk cashew milk is recommended
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Steak Bites:
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 6 cloves fresh garlic peeled and crushed
- 1 lb. sirloin steak cut into bite-sized pieces
- Sea salt to taste
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 Tbsp chopped chives
Instructions
- Begin by peeling the potatoes and rinse them thoroughly.
For Mashed Potatoes:
- Boil a large pot of salted water and add the peeled potatoes. Cook until they can be easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes and mash them to your desired consistency.
- In a small saucepan, gently warm the milk and clarified butter together over low heat, whisking until well combined.
- Blend the yogurt into the mashed potatoes, then slowly incorporate the warm milk-butter mixture while continuing to mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
For Steak Bites:
- Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the crushed garlic and sauté for about a minute until aromatic.
- Introduce the sirloin steak to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned to your liking.
- Once the steak is cooked, reduce the heat and blend in the melted clarified butter or ghee, stirring until the steak is well-coated. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley and chives.
- To serve, distribute the mashed potatoes and steak bites into meal prep containers. They can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for a couple of months, reheating when ready to enjoy.
