Tender, juicy steak bites seared to perfection in a garlic butter sauce and smothered in a rich, creamy Parmesan cheese sauce, ready in just 30 minutes for an impressive and delicious meal.
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
- Let steak rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking for even searing.
- Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing steak to ensure proper browning.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
