Description

Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Parmesan Cream Sauce are tender sirloin steak pieces seared to perfection and coated in a rich, creamy Parmesan sauce infused with garlic and butter. This quick and flavorful skillet recipe is perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner or a special treat that comes together in just 20 minutes.


Ingredients

Steak Bites

  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Heat oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, preparing it for searing the steak bites.
  2. Cook steak bites: Add the sirloin steak pieces to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through and juicy.
  3. Remove steak: Take the steak bites out of the skillet and set them aside to rest while you prepare the sauce.
  4. Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned to bring out its rich flavor.
  5. Add cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Incorporate Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy, melding all flavors together.
  7. Combine steak and sauce: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the creamy Parmesan sauce. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes to heat the steak through and coat them well with the sauce.
  8. Season to taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference to balance the savory flavors.
  9. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the steak bites before serving to add a bright, fresh touch.

Notes

  • Use sirloin steak or any tender cut for best results.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or crusty bread to enjoy the creamy sauce.
  • For a lower fat option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a light cream, but the sauce may be less thick.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure the Parmesan cheese does not contain added gluten fillers.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
