Ingredients
  

For the Steak Bites:

  • 2 NY Strip steaks cut into 1-inch cubes
  • SPG seasoning salt, pepper, garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

For the Mashed Potatoes:

  • 4-6 golden potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 1 cup warm whole milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Au Jus:

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 stick unsalted butter

For the Gravy:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Prepared au jus

For Assembly:

  • Caramelized onions see instructions
  • Chopped chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Season the steak cubes with SPG seasoning and avocado oil, toss to coat, and refrigerate while preparing the other components.
  • Peel and cube the potatoes, then boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and mash using a potato ricer, then mix with 2 tablespoons butter, warm milk, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in 2 additional tablespoons of butter and keep warm.
  • To caramelize onions, slice 2 large onions thinly and cook them in 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
  • Prepare the au jus by simmering beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic paste, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, and butter for 15 minutes. Strain and set aside.
  • Make the gravy by melting butter in a pan, whisking in flour to create a roux, and slowly adding the au jus while whisking. Simmer until thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preference.
  • Assemble the dish with mashed potatoes as the base, steak bites on top, and a drizzle of gravy. Garnish with caramelized onions and chopped chives. Serve warm and enjoy!
