Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 1 lb Sirloin or Ribeye Steak Provides a hearty, flavorful base; feel free to substitute with chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Needed for searing, enhancing richness; no substitutions required here.
  • Salt Essential for seasoning; adjust to your taste for optimal flavor.
  • Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to your taste for optimal flavor.
For the Garlic Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced; using fresh garlic yields the best results.
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter Adds creaminess to the steak; switch to ghee for a lactose-free version.
For the Creamy Parmesan Sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Forms the base of a luscious sauce; half-and-half or dairy-free options work as lighter alternatives.
  • ½ cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese Key to creaminess and flavor; avoid pre-shredded cheese for the best melting experience.
  • Red Pepper Flakes Optional; adds a hint of heat; omit for a milder palate.
For Garnish
  • Chopped Fresh Parsley Optional; brightens up the dish with fresh flavor.

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • separate saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Butter Steak Bites
  1. Cut the sirloin or ribeye steak into bite-sized cubes, season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned steak cubes for 2–3 minutes on each side.
  3. Reduce the skillet heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and once melted, sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
  4. Return the seared steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter for an additional 1–2 minutes.
  5. In a separate saucepan, melt an additional tablespoon of butter, sauté minced garlic, then add 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in ½ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  6. Serve by drizzling the creamy Parmesan sauce over the steak bites or on the side, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
