Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites:
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (120ml) beef broth
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Parmesan Cream Sauce (Optional):
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream
- 2/3 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak:
Pat the steak bites dry and season generously with salt and pepper. - Sear the Steak:
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of butter and place the steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. - Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in beef broth and let simmer for 2 minutes. - Return the Steak:
Toss the seared steak bites back into the skillet, coating them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat. - Optional Parmesan Cream Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute.
- Pour in heavy cream, stirring continuously until slightly thickened.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle over steak bites before serving.
- Serve & Enjoy:
Garnish with fresh parsley and pair with mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- For the best sear, avoid overcrowding the skillet—cook in batches if needed.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, or garlic butter pasta for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
