Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Basically anything with mashed potatoes is comfort food to us, but the tasty addition of seared steak tips really takes this dish to the next level. While we love lots of more involved, complex recipes, we’re really going back to basics with this one to enjoy it’s rich flavor. Less is more, folks.

Once your steak tips have gone for a little dip in the flour, you just need to brown them up on all sides (bonus points if you get a nice sear going) and toss em in your baking dish. Then all that’s left to do is whip up a quick gravy from the pan drippings and make some quick mashed potatoes (or use store-bought). Pop it all in the oven and you’ve got a delicious, filling meal that’s sure to please everyone!

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
