• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Mashed Potatoes:

• 1/4 cup butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Green Beans:

• 1 lb green beans, trimmed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
   • Place cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
   • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy. Cover to keep warm.
2. Cook the Green Beans
   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add green beans and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   • Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm.
3. Cook the Steak Bites
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
   • In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
   • Return steak bites to the skillet, toss in the garlic butter, and stir in soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble and Serve
   • Plate the creamy mashed potatoes and green beans. Add the steak bites on top or alongside, drizzling any remaining garlic butter sauce over the steak.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Cooking Tips

• Steak Choice: Sirloin works well, but you can also use ribeye or tenderloin for a more luxurious touch.
• Creamier Potatoes: Add a splash of heavy cream to make the mashed potatoes even richer.
• Add a Kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes into the garlic butter for a touch of heat.
