Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Creamy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the steak bites: Cut the steak into small, even cubes, then season all sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak pieces in a single layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the garlic butter sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Let it melt, then stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
- Add cream and simmer: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Incorporate Parmesan cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and the sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Combine steak with sauce: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly in the creamy sauce. Let everything heat together for another minute or two to blend flavors.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness, then serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature steak to ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce.
- Adjust garlic quantity according to personal taste preferences.
- Make sure not to overcook the steak to keep it tender and juicy.
