Ensuring the beef is dry helps achieve a better sear. Don't overcrowd the pan in the next step.
2
Cook the steak bites: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef chunks and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the butter and let it melt, basting the steak with the garlic butter.

Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which steams the meat instead of searing it. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
3
Prepare the mashed potatoes: While the steak cooks, boil the peeled and quartered potatoes in salted water until very tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain the water, then return the potatoes to the pot. Add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of butter, and salt to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy.

For extra fluffy mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer or pass them through a food mill. Warm the cream before adding for a smoother result.

Assemble and serve: Scoop a generous portion of mashed potatoes onto a plate. Arrange the cooked garlic butter steak bites next to or on top of the potatoes. Drizzle generously with homemade chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately.
