Creating Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes can be a straightforward process by following these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the baby potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain Potatoes: After boiling, drain the potatoes and let them sit for a few minutes to cool slightly.
3. Smash the Potatoes: Use a fork or potato masher to gently smash each potato, creating a rustic texture.
4. Add Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the smashed potatoes with butter, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
5. Keep Warm: Cover the potato mixture and keep it warm while you cook the steak.
6. Season the Steak: In a bowl, season the steak cubes with salt and pepper.
7. Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear for about 3-4 minutes, until browned.
8. Add Garlic and Butter: Lower the heat, then add the butter and minced garlic to the pan. Stir to combine and let the steak cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic flavor to infuse.
9. Garnish the Steak: Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkling chopped parsley over the steak bites for freshness.
10. Serve Together: Plate the cheesy smashed potatoes and top them with garlic butter steak bites, garnishing with chives or green onions if desired.

Following these steps ensures an incredible outcome filled with delicious flavors.
