Garlic Butter Steak Bites with a Rich Parmesan Cream Sauce

A quick and flavorful meal combining tender steak bites with a rich and creamy Parmesan sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons 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
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Pat your steak cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in batches, searing for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add steak back in and toss to coat.
  4. In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté 2 cloves of minced garlic for 30 seconds. Add heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and stir in Parmesan until smooth.
  5. Pour the sauce over the steak bites or serve on the side. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half or whole milk for the heavy cream. Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor.
