Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
- Cook the steak bites: Add the sirloin steak pieces to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Ensure they are seared nicely but still juicy inside.
- Remove steak: Transfer the cooked steak bites from the skillet to a plate and set aside to rest while you prepare the sauce.
- Sauté garlic: Using the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, infusing the butter with flavor.
- Make the cream sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it fully melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine steak with sauce: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the cream sauce. Let them cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through and absorb the flavors.
- Season: Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the steak bites before serving to add a fresh herbal note and vibrant color.
Notes
- For best results, use sirloin steak as it is tender yet flavorful.
- Be careful not to overcook the steak bites to keep them juicy.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the cream for a few extra minutes before adding Parmesan.
- Use fresh garlic for optimal flavor and aroma.
- This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
