Classic Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Steamed Vegetables: A Simple, Hearty Feast

Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash with a potato masher or use an electric mixer for a smoother texture.
Add the butter and milk, and continue mashing until the potatoes are creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
Cook the Steak:

Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for 4-6 minutes per side (for medium-rare), depending on your preferred level of doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, add the butter, garlic, and rosemary (if using) to the pan. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for added flavor.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Steam the Vegetables:

In a steamer basket over a pot of simmering water, add the broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower.
Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still vibrant and crisp.
Remove from heat and toss with a little butter and salt for extra flavor, if desired.
Serve:

Plate the steaks alongside a generous scoop of mashed potatoes and a serving of steamed vegetables.
For an extra touch, drizzle any remaining pan juices from the steak over the potatoes and vegetables.
