Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the steak bites: Generously season the sirloin steak pieces with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, heating it until shimmering.
- Sear the steak: Add the steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Sear each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare garlic butter: Lower heat to medium, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring continuously until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to burn it.
- Add the cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer to meld the flavors.
- Incorporate Parmesan and seasoning: Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly, coating the back of a spoon.
- Toss steak in sauce: Return the seared steak bites to the skillet, tossing thoroughly to coat each piece with the creamy Parmesan garlic sauce.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for color and freshness, then serve the steak bites hot for best taste.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when searing the steak bites to ensure a nice crust forms.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture in the sauce.
- Italian seasoning is optional but adds a lovely herbaceous note.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the steak bites at their juiciest and the sauce at its creamiest.
- Adjust seasoning according to personal preference.
