Ingredients for Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Gather these simple ingredients for a decadent meal:

  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak – Cut into bite-sized pieces for quick cooking and tender results.
  • Salt and pepper – To season the steak bites.
  • 2 tbsp (28g) butter – For that rich, buttery flavor.
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced – Adds a fragrant and savory depth to the dish.
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) beef broth – Helps deglaze the skillet and enhances the sauce.
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream – Makes the sauce luxuriously creamy.
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese – The star of the sauce, offering bold, cheesy flavor.
  • Fresh parsley – For garnish, adding a pop of color and freshness.


Instructions

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Season the Steak Bites
Generously season the steak pieces with salt and pepper on all sides. This step enhances the natural flavor of the meat.

Step 2: Sear the Steak
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt, allowing it to bubble slightly. Place the seasoned steak bites in a single layer in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Transfer the cooked steak bites to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 3: Sauté the Garlic
Reduce the skillet’s heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.

Step 4: Deglaze the Pan
Pour the beef broth into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan—these bits are full of flavor and will enhance the sauce. Stir well to combine.

Step 5: Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. This creates a rich and creamy sauce that pairs perfectly with the steak bites.

Step 6: Toss the Steak Bites in the Sauce
Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet. Toss them in the creamy Parmesan sauce until they are evenly coated and reheated.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Plate the steak bites and drizzle some extra sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
