Rest the Steak:
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite.

Mash the Potatoes:
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and gradually add milk or cream while mashing until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For added flavor, incorporate minced garlic or fresh chives.
