Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a bowl, combine the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of butter. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and bring it to a gentle simmer while scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of beef broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy Parmesan sauce to coat thoroughly. Let it simmer for an additional minute to warm the steak back up.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or over pasta.
