Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat

Instructions

1. To get started on these Easy Garlic Butter Steak Bites, first, pat your steak cubes dry and season them generously with salt and pepper. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.

2. Next, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a nice brown crust. Remember, the key to a perfect sear is to let the steak sizzle undisturbed for a couple of minutes before flipping. Once the steak bites are nicely browned, remove them from the pan and set them aside.

3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. This quick garlic sauté infuses the butter with an irresistible aroma. Return the seared steak bites to the pan and toss to coat them in the garlic butter. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. To create the creamy Parmesan sauce, start by melting the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds, until fragrant. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently.

5. Once the cream is gently simmering, gradually whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens and the cheese has fully melted, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want a little heat.

6. To serve, you can either pour the creamy Parmesan sauce over the garlic butter steak bites or serve the sauce on the side. Garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant, restaurant-worthy presentation.

Notes

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm the steak bites and sauce gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce as needed.
