Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp (28g) butter
Sauce
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (120ml) beef broth
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season the steak: Pat the sirloin steak bites dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor of the beef.
- Cook the steak bites: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the seasoned steak bites and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on all sides but still juicy inside.
- Remove steak and set aside: Transfer the cooked steak bites to a plate and set aside to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
- Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burned, which infuses the base of the sauce with aromatic flavor.
- Deglaze the pan: Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any flavorful browned bits stuck to the pan. This step adds depth to the sauce.
- Add cream and Parmesan: Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until the sauce thickens to a velvety consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine steak and sauce: Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them well to coat thoroughly in the creamy Parmesan garlic sauce and heat through.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for color and freshness, then serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh garlic and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the steak to get a good sear.
- You can substitute sirloin with ribeye or filet mignon for different textures and flavors.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a little longer, but stir frequently to avoid burning.
- This recipe pairs well with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
