Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
0.5 cup heavy cream
0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon dried parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the steak cubes evenly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the steak cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer and reduce slightly for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly and is smooth.
Return the seared steak bites to the skillet. Add the butter and stir until it melts into the sauce. Cook for 1 minute to coat the steak.
Remove from heat, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
For medium-rare steak bites, cook them quickly; overcooking will make them tough.
Serve these steak bites over mashed potatoes, rice, or alongside roasted asparagus for a complete meal.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the broth reduce longer in step 4 before adding the cream.
