Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the steak bites.
- Cook steak bites: Add the sirloin steak pieces to the hot skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes, ensuring they are seared well.
- Remove steak: Take the cooked steak bites out of the skillet and set them aside to rest while you make the sauce.
- Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant but not burnt.
- Add cream and simmer: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan until it melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine steak and sauce: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them gently in the creamy Parmesan sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and coat the meat thoroughly.
- Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as desired.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a bright, fresh finish. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, use a well-marbled sirloin steak for tenderness and flavor.
- Ensure not to overcook the steak bites to keep them juicy and tender.
- The Parmesan cream sauce can be adjusted by adding more cream if too thick or more cheese for extra richness.
- Serve with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables to complete the meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
