Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) beef broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator 20–30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Simmer gently for 4–5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  7. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until fully melted and smooth.
  8. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer together for 2–3 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve a proper sear.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce.
  • Keep heat moderate to prevent the cream sauce from separating.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to the cream-based sauce.
