Savory Angus Beef with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Vermicelli

1In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes (4 large) and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

2Add the minced garlic (4 cloves), butter (4 tablespoons), and milk (½ cup) to the potatoes (4 large). Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

3In a large skillet, heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) over medium-high heat. Season the Angus beef (2 lbs) cubes with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika (1 teaspoon).

4Add the beef to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

5In the same skillet, add the beef broth (½ cup) and bring to a simmer. Return the beef to the skillet and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.

6While the beef is cooking, prepare the vermicelli noodles (1 cup) according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

7To serve, place a generous scoop of garlic (4 cloves) mashed potatoes (4 large) on each plate, top with the Angus beef (2 lbs), and serve the vermicelli on the side.
