Instructions


Let’s turn up the heat and create this steak masterpiece:

Sear the Steak Bites

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and sear the steak bites in batches. Don’t overcrowd the pan—you want a gorgeous golden crust. Set aside.

Create the Garlic Butter Base

  • In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Let it sizzle until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Whip Up the Parmesan Cream Sauce

  • Lower the heat, pour in chicken broth, and scrape up those flavorful bits stuck to the pan. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

Combine and Finish

  • Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy sauce to coat. Let everything heat through, then serve hot.

FAQ Section

  1. Can I use a different cut of steak? Yes, try filet mignon or New York strip for equally delicious results.
  2. Can I make this dish ahead? The sauce is best fresh, but you can sear the steak bites in advance.
  3. Can I freeze leftovers? Cream-based sauces don’t freeze well, so I recommend enjoying it fresh.
  4. What can I substitute for heavy cream? Half-and-half or full-fat coconut milk are good options.
  5. Can I make it spicier? Add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne to the sauce for heat.
  6. What’s the best pan for searing steak? A cast-iron skillet ensures even heat and a great sear.
  7. Can I use pre-grated Parmesan? Avoid the shaker-style kind; it won’t melt as well.
  8. Can I make it dairy-free? Swap butter for vegan butter and use a dairy-free cream alternative.
  9. How do I store leftovers? Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  10. What can I serve this with at a dinner party? Pair with a crisp white wine and a side of garlic bread for an unforgettable meal.
