Description
Juicy Garlic Butter Steak Bites tossed in a rich Parmesan cream sauce make the ultimate 30-minute dinner. This quick, flavorful recipe combines tender steak cubes, buttery garlic, and creamy Parmesan for a comforting meal perfect for any night of the week.
Ingredients
- 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
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Pat steak cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in batches and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same skillet, add minced garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add steak back in and toss to coat in the garlic butter.
4. In a separate saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and stir in Parmesan until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
5. Pour the Parmesan cream sauce over the steak bites or serve on the side. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Pat steak dry for the best sear and crust.
Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches for even browning.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smooth, creamy sauce.
Reheat leftovers with a splash of cream or milk to restore texture.
