Description
A quick and flavorful meal featuring tender steak bites in a rich parmesan garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (divided)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in batches and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in the same skillet. Add half the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return steak to skillet and toss to coat in garlic butter.
- In a separate saucepan, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add remaining garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Pour sauce over steak bites or serve on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Drying the steak helps it brown well. Cook in batches so the pan stays hot and the meat sears instead of steams. Use low heat for the cream so the cheese melts smooth.
