Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb Steak (sirloin or ribeye), trimmed and cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp Olive oil, for searing Room temperature
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced About 1 tbsp
- 1/4 cup Butter Room temperature or melted for ease
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream Cold or from the fridge
- 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated if possible
- 1/2 tsp Salt Adjust to preference
- 1/2 tsp Pepper Adjust to preference
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish
Instructions
- Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs so all sides brown evenly.
- Transfer the browned steak bites to a plate and tent loosely with foil to rest while you make the sauce.
- Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add 1/4 cup butter. When the butter melts and starts to foam, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring constantly.
- Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the creamy Parmesan sauce until coated, about 1 minute.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately while hot.
