### **Instructions:**
#### For the Garlic Butter Steak Bites:
1. **Cook the steak** – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Season the steak bites with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Once the skillet is hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning the steak bites to ensure they brown evenly.
2. **Make the garlic butter sauce** – Once the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. **Combine** – Add the cooked steak bites back into the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce until evenly coated. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
#### For the Creamy Mashed Potatoes:
1. **Cook the potatoes** – In a large pot, add the diced potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
2. **Mash the potatoes** – Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
3. **Optional** – For extra creaminess, stir in Parmesan cheese for added flavor and richness.
