Peppered Steak & Cheesy Mash

Posted on October 30, 2023

Peppered steak and cheesy mashed potatoes make for a hearty and flavorful meal. Here’s a recipe for this delicious combination:

Ingredients:

For the Peppered Steak:

  • 4 boneless beef steaks (sirloin, ribeye, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes:

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

For the Peppered Steak:

  1. In a small bowl, mix the crushed peppercorns, salt, paprika, and dried thyme.
  2. Rub the spice mixture over both sides of the beef steaks.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook to your desired level of doneness (about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steaks).
  4. Remove the steaks from the skillet and keep them warm.
  5. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, and let it cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return the steaks to the skillet, add the butter, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting the steaks with the sauce.

For the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes:

  1. In a large pot, place the potato chunks and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  4. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a potato ricer for a smoother texture.
  5. Add the milk and butter to the mashed potatoes and continue mashing until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s fully melted and incorporated.
  7. Season the cheesy mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.

To Serve:

Plate the peppered steak alongside a generous scoop of cheesy mashed potatoes. Pour the creamy pepper sauce from the skillet over the steak. You can garnish with fresh herbs like chopped chives or parsley, if desired.

Enjoy your delicious homemade peppered steak and cheesy mashed potatoes. It’s a comforting and satisfying meal that’s perfect for dinner.
