Step-by-Step Instructions for Cajun Steak Bites with Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

1. Prepare the Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

1. Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water.
2. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
4. Add the heavy cream, butter, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mash until smooth and creamy.
5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and set aside.

2. Cook the Cajun Steak Bites

1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season them generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the steak bites in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden crust. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
4. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet and toss the steak bites to coat them in the garlic butter. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Make the Rich Parmesan Sauce

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. If the sauce is too thin, mix in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to thicken.
