Prepare tender, pan-seared steak bites coated in garlic butter, served with a rich, homemade creamy garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Toss the steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter melts and foams, add the steak bites in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Cook for 1 more minute. Do not let the sauce boil rapidly.
  7. Return the steak bites to the skillet. Toss gently to coat them completely in the creamy garlic sauce.
  8. Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, sear the steak in batches to maintain high heat and achieve a good crust on all sides.
  • If the sauce thickens too much while waiting for the steak, add a splash of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the sauce.
