Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep the steak: Pat your steak cubes dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then season them generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor and help achieve a good sear.
  2. Sear the steak: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steak cubes in batches, giving them room to cook evenly. Sear each side for 2–3 minutes until a beautiful brown crust forms. Remove the steak bites from the pan and set aside.
  3. Make the garlic butter: Reduce the skillet heat to medium and melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them thoroughly in the garlic butter to coat.
  4. Prepare the Parmesan cream sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add finely minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for a mild kick.
  5. Serve: Either pour the warm Parmesan cream sauce directly over the garlic butter-coated steak bites or serve it alongside as a dipping sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect combination of flavors.

Notes

  • Use dry steak cubes to ensure a nice sear; moisture will steam the meat instead.
  • Adjust the seasoning of the steak and sauce to your taste preference.
  • For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan rather than pre-grated for a smoother sauce.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but it will be less rich.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
