This Steak Bites and Gnocchi recipe offers a delicious, hearty meal featuring tender sirloin steak cubes pan-seared to perfection and golden pan-fried gnocchi tossed in a fragrant garlic rosemary butter sauce. Finished with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, this dish is perfect for a satisfying dinner ready in just 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Steak and Seasoning

  • 1 lb sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Gnocchi and Sauce

  • 1 lb store-bought or homemade gnocchi
  • 4 tbsp butter (divided)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the Steak Bites: Generously season the sirloin steak cubes with salt and pepper, ensuring all sides are well coated to enhance the flavor during cooking.
  2. Cook the Steak Bites: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a nice brown crust. Remove them from the pan and set aside, keeping them warm.
  3. Pan-Fry the Gnocchi: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the gnocchi and pan-fry them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Rosemary Butter: Push the gnocchi to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the empty side of the skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic turns fragrant but not browned.
  5. Toss Gnocchi in Garlic Butter: Mix the gnocchi thoroughly into the garlic rosemary butter, ensuring every piece is well coated with the flavorful sauce.
  6. Reheat Steak Bites: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, mixing them gently with the gnocchi and garlic butter. Heat through for about 1-2 minutes to combine flavors and warm the steak.
  7. Add Cheese and Garnish: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the skillet contents, allowing it to melt slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley to add color and a touch of herbaceous freshness.
  8. Serve: Serve the steak bites and gnocchi hot directly from the skillet and enjoy a perfectly balanced, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Use high-quality sirloin steak for the best texture and flavor in steak bites.
  • If using homemade gnocchi, ensure they are well drained before pan-frying.
  • For a spicier variation, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic butter.
  • Fresh rosemary lends the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be substituted in a pinch, using about half the amount.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple green salad to balance the richness of the dish.
