Drain the cooked potatoes. Mash the potatoes until smooth, using a potato ricer or masher. Stir in the 6 tablespoons of melted butter and 1/2 cup of warm milk until the mash is smooth and creamy. Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

Heat a large pan over high heat. Add the seasoned steak bites to the hot pan. Sear the steak bites for about 2 minutes per side, stirring occasionally, until they are browned. Remove the browned steak bites from the pan and set them aside on a plate.

Reduce the heat in the pan to a lower setting. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the 2 crushed garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh thyme. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Carefully add the 1/4 cup of bourbon to the pan (be cautious as it may flare up). Add the 1 tablespoon of honey to the sauce. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate them into the sauce. Continue to reduce the sauce until it thickens and becomes glossy, about 2-3 minutes.

Return the seared steak bites to the pan with the bourbon butter sauce. Toss the steak bites in the sauce until they are thoroughly coated. Add chili flakes to taste and toss again.

Cook the 1 bunch of broccolini until tender. This can be done by sautéing in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt, boiling, or roasting. (If sautéing, this can be done in a separate pan while finishing the steak).
⏱️ 8 min

To plate, spoon a generous portion of the mashed potatoes onto each plate. Top the mashed potatoes with the bourbon butter steak bites. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the steak bites and mash. Serve the cooked broccolini on the side of the plate. Garnish with fresh thyme or flaky salt if desired.
