Step 1: Cook the Steak Bites
- Season the steak bites with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer.
- Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness (for medium, about 4-5 minutes in total). Work in batches if necessary, so you don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, along with the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Return the steak bites to the skillet, toss them in the garlic butter, and remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
Step 2: Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Slowly add the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Make sure it doesn’t boil, as this could cause the cream to separate.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
- Pour the rich Parmesan cream sauce over the garlic butter steak bites or serve on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with more fresh parsley and an additional sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve the Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Parmesan Cream Sauce alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta for a hearty meal.
- Pair with roasted or sautéed vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or green beans for a balanced dinner.
- For a lighter option, serve the steak bites on top of a fresh salad or in a wrap.
