Ingredients

Scale

1 pound steak (sirloin, tenderloin, or ribeye), cubed

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup heavy cream

½ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

1 tablespoon chopped parsley


Instructions

1. Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.

3. Sear steak bites in a single layer for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.

4. Lower heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet.

5. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

7. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.

8. Return steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.

9. Let everything warm through for 1–2 minutes.

10. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.


Notes

Don’t skip drying the steak—this is key to getting that perfect golden crust.

Always use freshly grated parmesan for a smooth, creamy sauce.

Sear the steak in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
