Ingredients
Mashed Potatoes:
- 1.5 lb. potatoes about 5 or 6 medium, Russet or Yukon Gold
- 2 tablespoons clarified butter or ghee
- ¼ cup milk of choice
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Steak Bites:
- 1 tablespoon 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
- 2 tablespoons clarified butter or ghee
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
Make the mashed potatoes:
- Peel and rinse 1.5 lb. potatoes thoroughly. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook until they break apart easily when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain well and mash to your desired consistency.
Prepare the butter-milk mixture:
- In a small saucepan, bring ¼ cup milk and 2 tablespoons clarified butter or ghee to a low simmer, whisking together until well combined.
Finish the mashed potatoes:
- Stir ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt into the mashed potatoes. Gradually pour in the warm butter-milk mixture while continuing to mash until smooth and creamy. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook the steak bites:
- Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 crushed garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1 lb. sirloin steak bites and sear on each side until slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Reduce the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons clarified butter or ghee until melted, coating the steak well. Season with sea salt to taste and garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped parsley and 1 tablespoon chopped chives.
Assemble the meal prep bowls:
- Divide the mashed potatoes and steak bites evenly into 4 meal prep containers. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat before serving and enjoy!
