Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup beef broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season and Sear the Steak Bites
- Season the steak pieces generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer. Sear for about 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
Create the Parmesan Cream Sauce
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for a couple of minutes.
- Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Combine and Serve
- Return the seared steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy Parmesan sauce to ensure they are well-coated. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to warm the steak through.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the luscious sauce.
Notes
- For extra spice, add red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne.
- Use a well-marbled cut like ribeye for even juicier steak bites.
- Pair with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to complete the meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently on the stove.
