This quick and indulgent dish is perfect for an elegant weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak Bites:

  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

For the Parmesan Cream Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep the steak: Pat your steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season them generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the natural beef flavor.
  2. Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear each batch for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the cubes develop a rich brown crust. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
  3. Make the garlic butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and melt it. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, careful not to burn it. Return the steak bites to the pan and toss well to coat with the garlic butter.
  4. Prepare the Parmesan cream sauce: In a separate small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the 2 cloves of finely minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, bring it to a gentle simmer, and gradually stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.
  5. Serve: Pour the rich Parmesan cream sauce over the garlic butter steak bites or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if using, and serve immediately while hot for maximum flavor and tenderness.

Notes

  • For best results, use a high-quality sirloin or ribeye steak known for tenderness and rich flavor.
  • Make sure steak cubes are dry before searing to achieve a perfect crust.
  • You can adjust the cream sauce thickness by adding more cream or Parmesan cheese as needed.
  • Leftover steak bites can be refrigerated and reheated gently to avoid toughening the meat.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
