For mashed potatoes, use Yukon gold potatoes and a potato ricer for a smooth texture.
Infuse melted butter and cream with aromatics like garlic and rosemary for enhanced flavor.
Dice the steak against the grain then with the grain into chunks for tenderness.
Serve mashed potatoes with chives or green onions for added flavor and garnish.
Chimichurri is one of the best things to put on steak, especially carne asada, for a burst of flavor.
Blast the pan on high heat and open your windows when cooking the steak to achieve a nice medium temperature.
