Ingredients
To create these mouthwatering steak bites, you’ll need just a few key ingredients:
For the Steak Bites :
- Sirloin Steak : 1 pound, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Salt and Pepper : To season the steak to your liking.
- Olive Oil : For cooking the steak bites.
- Unsalted Butter : Adds richness and flavor.
- Garlic : 4 cloves, minced for that aromatic punch.
- Dried Thyme : Optional, but it adds a subtle herbal note.
For the Creamy Parmesan Sauce :
- Heavy Cream : 1 cup, the base for a rich and velvety sauce.
- Parmesan Cheese : 1/2 cup, grated, for that sharp, cheesy flavor.
- Garlic Powder : 1 teaspoon, for extra garlic goodness.
- Salt and Pepper : To taste, for seasoning the sauce.
- Fresh Parsley : Chopped, for garnish and a touch of freshness.
Instructions
Season the Steak :
- In a bowl, season the steak bites generously with salt and pepper. Let the steak rest for about 10 minutes, allowing the seasoning to infuse the meat.
Cook the Steak Bites :
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter :
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme (if using), sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be cautious not to let the garlic burn.
Prepare the Creamy Parmesan Sauce :
- Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir it into the garlic butter mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder, stirring constantly until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Serve :
- Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy Parmesan sauce. Allow the steak to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish and Enjoy :
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Enjoy the succulent steak bites drenched in rich, creamy Parmesan sauce!
Notes
- Customize the Flavor : If you love a bit of heat, you can add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy kick.
- For Extra Creaminess : Stir in a little more Parmesan cheese for a thicker, richer sauce.
- Serving Ideas : This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, a crisp salad, or roasted vegetables.
