How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites with a Rich Parmesan Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Directions:

Prep the steak: Pat your steak cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
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.
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.
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.
Serve: Pour the sauce over the steak bites or serve on the side. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

How to Serve Garlic Butter Steak Bites with a Rich Parmesan Cream Sauce

Serve the steak bites immediately after cooking. You can place them on a platter and pour the rich Parmesan cream sauce over them or serve the sauce in a bowl on the side. This dish goes great with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

How to Store Garlic Butter Steak Bites with a Rich Parmesan Cream Sauce

If you have leftovers, let the dish cool down. Store the steak and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When you are ready to eat, reheat gently on the stove over low heat until warmed through. You may want to add a splash of cream to loosen the sauce.

Tips to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites with a Rich Parmesan Cream Sauce

Make sure to dry the steak cubes well before cooking. This helps them to sear properly and get that nice brown crust.
Don’t overcrowd the pan while searing the steak. Cook them in batches for the best results.
Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic in the sauce to fit your taste. You can add more for a stronger flavor!

Variation

You can add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the skillet when cooking the steak for added flavor and nutrition. If you prefer a lighter option, skip the cream sauce and serve the steak bites with a simple salad instead.
