Country Steak Bites with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet and add onions and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and browning.

Coat the steak bites in salt and pepper, then toss in cornstarch until lightly coated.

Add the steak bites to the sautéed onions and garlic and sear the edges. Do not overcook! Remove from heat and transfer to a covered plate.

Peel and dice the potatoes, then add them to boiling water until tender.

Drain the potatoes, then mash them. Add 4 tbsp butter, milk, sour cream, and seasonings. Stir and combine well until smooth.

In the large skillet, add 2 tbsp butter and melt it. Add the 1/4 cup flour and stir to make a paste.

Pour in the beef broth and bring to a light boil while stirring. Add the thyme sprigs.

Add the steak bites to the gravy and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Serve the steak bites and gravy over mashed potatoes. Pair with French bread or rolls for a complete meal.
