Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsps (28 g) unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup (120 ml) beef broth
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- ½ cup (50 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Seasoning: Thoroughly coat meat cubes with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, ensuring an even distribution of seasonings.
- Searing: Heat skillet with butter, creating a sizzling surface. Place seasoned meat pieces in a single layer, allowing each cube to caramelize without overcrowding. Cook 2-3 minutes per side to develop a golden-brown exterior while maintaining desired internal temperature.
- Aromatic Base: In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and quickly introduce minced garlic. Stir vigorously to release aromatic essence without burning, then deglaze pan with beef broth, scraping up flavorful browned remnants.
- Sauce Creation: Gradually incorporate heavy cream, allowing mixture to simmer and thicken. Whisk in grated Parmesan cheese until sauce becomes smooth and luxurious.
- Finishing Touch: Reintroduce seared meat cubes into creamy Parmesan sauce, gently tossing to ensure complete coverage and reheating. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the glazed meat bites for a vibrant garnish.
- Serving: Present steak bites immediately in their rich, creamy sauce to maximize flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Meat Selection Matters: Choose high-quality, well-marbled cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and rich flavor in your steak bites.
- Perfect Searing Technique: Ensure your skillet is blazing hot before adding meat to create a beautiful golden-brown crust without overcooking the interior.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Space meat cubes separately in the pan to prevent steaming and guarantee proper caramelization, which develops deep, complex flavors.
- Sauce Consistency Control: Simmer the cream sauce gently and whisk constantly to prevent separation and achieve a smooth, velvety texture that coats the meat perfectly.
