Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) sirloin steak, ribeye, or filet mignon (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for depth of flavor)
- 0.5 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano, thyme, and basil)
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsps butter
- 0.5 cup chicken or beef broth (adds depth of flavor)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation: Meticulously pat steak dry with kitchen towels to ensure maximum surface texture and caramelization potential.
- Seasoning: Craft a dynamic flavor profile by generously coating meat cubes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Heat Activation: Ignite a sizzling cooking surface by melding olive oil and butter in a robust cast-iron skillet, creating an ideal searing environment at medium-high temperature.
- Strategic Searing: Strategically position meat cubes in a single, uncrowded layer, allowing each piece to develop a luxurious golden-brown exterior through focused heat exposure.
- Precision Cooking: Rotate meat cubes every 2-3 minutes, cultivating a rich caramelized crust while maintaining an internally tender and juicy composition.
- Resting Phase: Gently transfer seared meat morsels to a pristine plate, permitting residual heat to stabilize and distribute internal moisture for optimal flavor retention.
- Cream Infusion: Deglaze the scorching skillet with heavy cream, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce, scraping accumulated flavor-rich fond to create a velvety, indulgent pan sauce.
- Final Fusion: Reunite seared steak bites with the luscious cream sauce, gently tossing to ensure complete flavor integration and serving immediately for maximum gustatory pleasure.
Notes
- Moisture Management: Pat steak cubes completely dry with paper towels to guarantee crispy, caramelized exterior and prevent steaming during cooking.
- Seasoning Strategy: Create a balanced spice blend by evenly coating meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for maximum flavor penetration.
- Heat Control: Use a blazing hot cast-iron skillet with combined olive oil and butter to achieve perfect golden-brown sear without burning meat.
- Space Optimization: Arrange steak bites in single layer without overcrowding, allowing each piece direct heat contact for uniform, restaurant-quality browning.
