Prepare tender, pan-seared steak bites coated in garlic butter and serve them with a rich, homemade creamy garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup beef broth
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season the steak with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
  2. Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams.
  3. Add the steak cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer and reduce slightly for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Return the seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss gently to coat them in the creamy garlic sauce. Cook for 1 minute to reheat the steak.
  9. Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor in the sauce, add 1 tablespoon of dry white wine or dry sherry after the beef broth and let it cook down before adding the cream.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness; aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
  • Do not overcook the steak bites, as they will become tough.
