Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp (28g) butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 1/2 cup (120ml) beef broth
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season the Steak: Generously season the sirloin steak bites with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- Melt Butter in Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter until it’s hot and ready for cooking.
- Cook the Steak Bites: Add the seasoned steak bites to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
- Remove Steak from Skillet: Transfer the cooked steak bites to a plate and set aside, keeping them warm.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Deglaze with Beef Broth: Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits for extra flavor.
- Create Parmesan Cream Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, then simmer gently until the sauce thickens into a creamy consistency.
- Combine Steak with Sauce: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and coat them thoroughly with the Parmesan cream sauce, allowing them to warm through.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the steak bites with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add freshness and color.
Notes
- Use sirloin steak for tender bites, but ribeye or filet mignon can be used for richer flavor.
- Adjust garlic amount according to your preference for garlic intensity.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer a little longer or add a teaspoon of cornstarch slurry.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on stovetop or microwave.
