Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Garnish
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season Steak Bites: Season the sirloin steak pieces generously with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- Cook Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak bites and cook until they are nicely browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: Using the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Then add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt, infusing the butter with garlic flavor.
- Make Parmesan Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add the grated parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy, allowing the cheese to melt fully into the cream.
- Combine Steak with Sauce: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the parmesan cream sauce so they are evenly coated and heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the steak bites for a fresh burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, allow the cream and parmesan mixture to simmer slightly before adding the steak back in.
- Use fresh garlic for best flavor; garlic powder will not provide the same aroma or taste.
- Substitute sirloin with ribeye or filet mignon for a more tender variation.
- Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Ensure not to overcook the steak bites to maintain tenderness and juiciness.
