Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound (450 grams) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
Dairy and Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Liquid:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) beef broth
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Generously sprinkle salt and pepper over the steak bites, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with seasoning.
- Heat a skillet to medium-high and melt butter until it sizzles, creating a golden cooking surface at approximately 375°F.
- Carefully place seasoned steak bites into the hot skillet, allowing each piece to develop a rich, caramelized exterior for 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer browned steak bites to a separate plate, keeping them warm and preserving their juicy texture.
- In the same skillet with residual butter, add finely chopped garlic and quickly toast until aromatic, releasing its intense flavor for roughly 45-60 seconds.
- Deglaze the pan by pouring beef broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape accumulated browned bits from the skillet’s bottom, enhancing the sauce’s depth.
- Introduce heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce reaches a velvety, slightly thickened consistency within 2-3 minutes.
- Gently reintroduce the seared steak bites into the creamy sauce, ensuring each piece is luxuriously coated and heated through for an additional 2 minutes.
- Finish the dish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley over the steak bites, adding a vibrant touch of color and fresh herbaceous note before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the steak is at room temperature before cooking to guarantee even browning and maximum tenderness.
- Pat the steak bites completely dry with paper towels to achieve a perfect golden-brown sear without steaming.
- Choose high-quality, well-marbled cuts like ribeye or sirloin for the most flavorful and juicy steak bites.
- For a low-carb or keto-friendly version, replace beef broth with bone broth and use full-fat cream and cheese.
