Cajun Butter Steak Bites with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

The method

1. 01

   Mix the Cajun butter ingredients: 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter, 1/2 tsp seasoned Cajun, 1 tsp parsley, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard until combined. Optionally, add red pepper flakes for spice.

2. 02

   Trim 2 steaks of your choice into 1-inch pieces and season with 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and 1 tsp buttery steakhouse seasoning. Let the steaks rest before cooking to avoid chewy bites.

3. 03

   Cook the steak bites in avocado oil over medium-high heat, flipping after 1-2 minutes.

4. 04

   Reduce the heat and stir in 2 tbsp of the Cajun butter, tossing the steak bites for an additional minute.

5. 05

   Remove the steak and add asparagus to the pan. Season the asparagus with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan.

6. 06

   Peel and dice 2 large gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes and boil them in salted water.

7. 07

   Drain the water and mash the potatoes, stirring in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp sour cream, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tbsp butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

8. 08

   To assemble, add the creamy Parmesan mashed potatoes to a bowl and top with the Cajun butter steak bites. Serve with asparagus and ciabatta, garnished with parsley.
