1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steak Bites:

    - In a bowl, toss the sirloin steak pieces with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.

      - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak bites for about 3-5 minutes, until they're browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove and set aside.

          - Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

            - Add butter, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Prepare the Rich Parmesan Sauce:

                - In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add a pinch of cayenne for extra kick!

                  Serve:

                    - Plate the cheesy mashed potatoes, top with the Cajun steak bites, and drizzle the rich Parmesan sauce over the top.

                      - Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
