Easy Garlic Butter Steak Bites with a Rich Parmesan Cream Sauce

by

  1. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  2. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently.

  3. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of milk or chicken broth.

  4. Season with salt, pepper, Dijon mustard (optional), and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

  1. Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them gently in the Parmesan cream sauce.

  2. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil.

  3. Serve hot with sides of your choice.

Cooking Tips for Success

  1. Choose the Right Cut of  Steak: Sirloin offers a great balance of tenderness and affordability, but ribeye or tenderloin will give you a more luxurious bite.

  2. Hot Pan = Perfect Sear: Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the  steak. A good sear locks in juices and adds flavor.

  3. Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook in batches if needed. Overcrowding lowers the pan temperature and steams the  meat instead of searing it.

  4. Fresh Parmesan Only: Pre-grated cheese often contains anti-caking agents that prevent it from melting smoothly. Freshly grated Parmesan makes the sauce creamier.

  5. Control the Sauce Consistency: If the sauce gets too thick, thin it with broth or milk. If it’s too thin, let it simmer a bit longer.
