Steak
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Prepare the Steak: Begin by seasoning the steak pieces generously with salt and pepper. This will enhance the flavor of the meat as it cooks.
- Cook the Steak: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is sizzling, add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Then, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add Parmesan and Combine: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the rich sauce until well coated.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the steak bites hot, either on their own or over a bed of pasta or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
Notes
- Use sirloin or your preferred cut for tender, juicy steak bites.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste; freshly ground black pepper adds great flavor.
- Cook steak bites to your preferred doneness; medium-rare to medium is recommended for tenderness.
- For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, but the sauce will be less creamy.
- Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice to complement the creamy sauce.
- Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking the steak.
