Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Parmesan Cream Sauce

Ingredients for Steak Bites

• 1 to 1 1/4 pounds steak (sirloin, ribeye, or strip steak), cut into bite-sized pieces

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

• 6 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Ingredients for Parmesan Cream Sauce

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak Bites: Season steak pieces with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add steak bites and sear, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides (adjust for desired doneness). Remove steak from skillet and set aside.

2. Make Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Prepare Parmesan Cream Sauce: Pour heavy cream into the skillet with garlic butter and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Cook and stir until cheese is melted and sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Combine and Serve: Return steak bites to the skillet and toss quickly to coat in the Parmesan cream sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
