Ingredients
  

For the steak bites
  • 1 lb 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
For the cream sauce
  • 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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat your steak cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Searing the steak
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in batches, searing for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
Making the garlic butter
  1. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Melt butter, then add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add steak back in and toss to coat.
Preparing the Parmesan cream sauce
  1. In a separate saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and stir in Parmesan until smooth.
Serving
  1. Pour the sauce over the steak bites or serve on the side. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

This dish keeps well in the fridge for about 3–4 days. Reheat on low heat when ready to enjoy again. Consider varying the recipe by using chicken or tofu instead of steak.
