2. [2:13](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=133s) Boil peeled potatoes in water until tender when tested with a skewer.
3. [3:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=181s) Drain the boiled potatoes and let excess water evaporate over heat.
4. [3:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=189s) Pass the warm potatoes through a potato ricer into a saucepan.
5. [3:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=210s) Pour about half of the cream and butter mixture into the riced potatoes.
6. [3:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=215s) Mix until smooth and creamy, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. [5:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=304s) Cut the steaks into bite-sized pieces.
8. [5:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=319s) Coat the steak pieces with avocado oil, salt, and pepper.
9. [5:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=333s) Prepare garlic butter mixture by combining softened butter, minced garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and soy paste in a small bowl.
10. [7:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=421s) Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot, wipe clean, and add avocado oil.
11. [7:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=435s) Sear steak bites in batches without overcrowding, letting them sit undisturbed to brown.
12. [7:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=455s) Remove the seared steak bites from the skillet.
13. [8:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=485s) Add the second batch of steak bites to the hot skillet and sear similarly.
14. [8:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=507s) Return the first batch of steak bites to the pan, toss, and add the garlic herb butter.
15. [8:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=515s) Stir and toss until the butter melts and coats the steak bites.
16. [9:16](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL-wnMVyTQI&t=556s) Plate the mashed potatoes, create a well, and top with the cooked steak bites and pan juices.
