Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup chicken or beef broth
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cut steak into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer, searing for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Prepare the Parmesan Cream Sauce: Pour in heavy cream and broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add Parmesan and Italian seasoning. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine and Serve: Return steak bites to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Let simmer for 1 minute to absorb flavors.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with preferred side.
Notes
- Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- Mushroom Lover’s Version: Sauté sliced mushrooms with the garlic before adding the cream.
- Cheese Options: Use Pecorino Romano or Asiago instead of Parmesan.
- Lighter Alternative: Replace heavy cream with half-and-half.
- Herb Boost: Add fresh thyme or rosemary for extra depth.
