Here’s a recipe for Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Parmesan Cream Sauce—a mouthwatering dish that’s perfect for a quick and decadent dinner!
Ingredients:
For the Steak Bites:
- 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet), cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Parmesan Cream Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1. Cook the Steak Bites:
- Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring to allow them to sear and develop a nice crust.
- Flip the steak bites and cook for another 1-2 minutes for medium-rare (adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness).
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic. Stir the steak bites around to coat them with the garlic butter. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside. Keep them warm.
2. Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to simmer (do not boil).
- Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Assemble the Dish:
- Return the steak bites to the skillet, spooning the Parmesan cream sauce over them.
- Let them simmer together for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
