Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- ¼ cup chicken or beef broth
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Pat the steak bites dry and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce heat to medium, add butter and minced garlic to the same skillet, and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Prepare the Parmesan Cream Sauce: Pour in the broth, then stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Combine Everything: Return the steak bites to the skillet, toss in the sauce, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Spicy Version: Add extra red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Mushroom Addition: Sauté mushrooms before making the sauce for added depth.
- Herb-Infused: Add rosemary or thyme for a more aromatic flavor.
- Cheesy Boost: Stir in extra Parmesan or Gruyère for a richer sauce.
- Lighter Option: Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter texture
