Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Steak Bites
  • 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Creamy Parmesan Sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning adds flavor
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method
 

Sear the Steak
  1. Season the steak bites generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer, searing for about 3-4 minutes until nicely browned.
  4. Flip and sear for another 3-4 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
  5. Transfer the bites to a plate when done.
Prepare the Garlic Butter
  1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter.
  2. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Combine and Savor
  1. Return the steak bites to the skillet, stirring everything together.
  2. Allow them to soak up the garlic butter for a minute before removing from heat.
Make the Creamy Sauce
  1. In a separate saucepan, bring heavy cream to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
  2. Add grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens (approx. 3-5 minutes).
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate it Up
  1. Serve the steak bites drizzled with the creamy Parmesan sauce.
  2. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Notes

Consider marinating the steak bites for 30 minutes prior for enhanced flavor. You can customize the sauce with red pepper flakes, mushrooms, or spinach.
