How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the cooking process! This is where the magic happens:

1. Prep the steak: Pat your steak cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper. This step is crucial for that perfect sear!
2. Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in batches, searing for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Make the garlic butter: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Melt butter, then add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add steak back in and toss to coat.
4. Prepare the Parmesan cream sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and stir in Parmesan until smooth.
5. Serve: Pour the sauce over the steak bites or serve on the side. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your steak bites turn out perfectly:

• Make sure your steak is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing the steak; this helps achieve that beautiful crust.
• Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little kick!
• If you’re looking for 30-minute meals, this recipe is a winner!
