Creating Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes is simple. Follow these steps for a delightful meal:

For the Cheesy Smashed Potatoes:

1. Boil Potatoes: Place baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain and Smash: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher to gently smash them, keeping some texture.
3. Mix Ingredients: Add cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
4. Garnish: Transfer potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh chives or green onions.

For the Garlic Butter Steak Bites:

5. Heat Butter: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add unsalted butter and allow it to melt.
6. Cook Steak Bites: Add the marinated steak pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring to get a good sear.
7. Add Garlic: Once the steak bits are nicely browned, add minced garlic to the skillet and stir for another 2 minutes.
8. Season: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the steak bites while cooking to enhance the flavor.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Each step is designed to ensure you create a dish bursting with flavors that will delight your senses!
