How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites with a Rich Parmesan Cream Sauce

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
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Prep the steak: Pat your steak cubes dry and season them generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in batches, searing for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.

4. Prepare the Parmesan cream sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds. Add the heavy cream, bring it to a simmer, and stir in the Parmesan cheese until smooth.
5. Serve: Pour the sauce over the steak bites or serve it on the side. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
