  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped: A fresh herb that brightens up the flavor at the end.
  • For the Parmesan Cream Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon butter: Creates the base for the cream sauce, adding richness.

• • 3 cloves garlic, minced: Infuses the sauce with a savory aroma.
  • 1 cup heavy cream: Forms the creamy foundation of the sauce.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:

Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the steak cubes in a single layer to the skillet.

Step 3:

Cook the steak bites for 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure all sides are browned evenly. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4:

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5:

Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic herb butter mixture to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the steak through and infuse it with the butter sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
