Method
 

Preparation of Mashed Potatoes
  1. Place potato chunks in a pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer until very tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  2. Drain well and return potatoes to the pot off heat for a minute to let steam escape.
  3. Warm the cream (or milk) and butter together until the butter melts.
  4. Mash with a potato masher or ricer until mostly smooth, then fold in warm cream/butter, sour cream if using, and salt to taste.
Cook the Steak Bites
  1. Pat steak pieces dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat a large skillet until smoking hot. Add a splash of high-smoke-point oil.
  3. Sear steak bites in a single layer for about 1–2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate.
Garlic Butter Sauce
  1. Lower heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  2. Return steak bites to the skillet, tossing in the garlic butter for 30–60 seconds.
Serve
  1. Spoon mashed potatoes onto plates, pile garlic butter steak bites on top, and sprinkle with chives and parsley.
