Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Parmesan Cream 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.

Step 6:

In a separate skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat for the Parmesan cream sauce. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7:

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from scorching.

Step 8:

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, allowing the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9:

Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it has thickened slightly, then remove from heat.

Step 10:

Serve the steak bites either drizzled with the Parmesan cream sauce or with the sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Serve the Garlic Butter Steak Bites immediately for the best flavor and texture, paired with the Parmesan cream sauce for dipping or drizzling.
• This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple side salad.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid overcooking the steak.
• If you plan to store the sauce separately, reheat it on low heat, adding a splash of cream or milk to maintain its creamy texture.
