Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Fats and Seasonings:
- 4 tablespoons (4 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the steak by generously coating cubes with salt and pepper, ensuring robust seasoning for maximum flavor enhancement.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high temperature until shimmering, then carefully place steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Sear steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side, developing a rich golden-brown crust while maintaining desired internal doneness (medium rare recommended).
- Introduce butter and minced garlic to the skillet, allowing them to meld and coat the steak bites with aromatic richness for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and transfer steak bites to a temporary holding plate.
- Create Parmesan cream sauce in a separate saucepan by gently heating heavy cream and gradually incorporating grated Parmesan cheese.
- Continuously stir sauce until smooth and slightly thickened, seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for subtle heat.
- Plate steak bites attractively, generously drizzling the creamy Parmesan sauce over the top.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add vibrant color and herbaceous freshness.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, providing extra sauce on the side for enthusiastic dipping.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, well-marbled steak cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and rich flavor.
- Pat steak cubes completely dry before seasoning to ensure perfect golden-brown searing without steaming.
- Use cast iron skillet for optimal heat distribution and creating beautiful caramelized exterior on steak bites.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain high heat and achieve proper meat browning without releasing excess moisture.
- Let steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to help juices redistribute, keeping meat incredibly juicy and succulent.
- Customize sauce by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aromatic depth and complexity.
- Lower-carb option: Replace heavy cream with Greek yogurt or coconut cream for lighter sauce variation.
