Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Sirloin steak, cut into bite-size cubes Ribeye works as well for more richness.
- 4 tablespoons Butter Use real butter for best flavor.
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced Adjust based on garlic preference.
- 1 cup Heavy cream Gives the sauce a smooth texture.
- 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese Pre-shredded can work, but freshly grated is best.
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika or Italian seasoning Optional for additional flavor.
Optional Extras
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes For heat.
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice To brighten the flavor.
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley For garnishing.
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the steak into bite-size cubes and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet on medium-high heat with a little oil and add the steak in a single layer.
- Sear for about 2 minutes per side until a nice crust forms and then set aside on a plate.
- Lower the heat to medium and add butter to the same pan. Once melted, add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stir, and scrape the browned bits from the pan. Let it bubble gently to thicken.
- Add grated Parmesan cheese slowly, stirring until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more cream or broth if necessary.
- Toss the steak bites back into the sauce and stir until coated and warmed through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure to not overcook the steak; it should be slightly undercooked before adding it back into the sauce. Grate your own Parmesan for better melting and flavor.
