Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Seasonings and Herbs:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Dairy and Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28g) butter
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
Liquid:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) beef broth
Instructions
- Meticulously trim the steak into uniform, bite-sized pieces, ensuring each morsel is seasoned thoroughly with robust salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet to medium-high temperature, melting butter until it shimmers and sizzles with anticipation.
- Gently cascade the seasoned steak bites into the skillet, allowing them to develop a rich, caramelized exterior for 3-4 minutes without overcrowding the pan.
- Carefully transfer the perfectly seared steak bites to a waiting plate, preserving their succulent interior.
- Reduce heat and introduce minced garlic to the same skillet, letting its aromatic essence bloom for approximately 30 seconds.
- Deglaze the pan with rich beef broth, using a wooden spatula to liberate the flavorful browned remnants clinging to the skillet’s surface.
- Stream in velvety heavy cream and sprinkle aged Parmesan cheese, whisking continuously until the sauce transforms into a luxuriously thick consistency.
- Reintroduce the seared steak bites to the creamy Parmesan sauce, gently coating each piece to ensure maximum flavor absorption.
- Finish by scattering freshly chopped parsley across the dish, adding a vibrant burst of color and herbaceous freshness.
- Serve immediately alongside your preferred accompaniment – whether it’s al dente pasta, fluffy rice, or crusty artisan bread.
Notes
- Selecting the right cut of steak is crucial for tender, juicy bites. Choose ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin for the best results.
- Pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming.
- Let the steak rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking to promote even cooking and maximum flavor.
- For a low-carb option, serve the steak bites over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles instead of traditional pasta.
- To make the dish dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
- Enhance the sauce’s depth by adding a splash of white wine or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard during the simmering process.
