Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Garnish
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the steak: Generously season the sirloin steak cubes with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Sear the steak bites: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Sear each side for 1 to 2 minutes until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.
- Sauté the garlic: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned to avoid bitterness.
- Prepare the Parmesan cream sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and optional crushed red pepper flakes into the skillet. Simmer the sauce gently for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens and becomes creamy.
- Combine and serve: Return the seared steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the Parmesan cream sauce to coat thoroughly. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy your savory garlic butter steak bites with a rich creamy sauce.
Notes
- Serve this dish over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice to create a hearty and satisfying meal.
- You can substitute the sirloin steak with ribeye or New York strip for a richer flavor and tenderness.
- For an extra layer of richness and depth, add a splash of white wine to the skillet before incorporating the cream.
