Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
6 cloves garlic, minced, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season the steak with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams.
Add half of the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak and set aside. Repeat with the remaining steak.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Add the remaining 2 cloves of minced garlic.
Return the seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss gently to coat them completely in the creamy garlic sauce. Cook for 1 minute to reheat the steak.
Remove from heat. Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, do not overcrowd the pan when searing the steak; work in batches.
You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, but the sauce will be thinner.
Use high-quality butter for the best flavor in the sauce.
