Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting your steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear. Generously season the meat with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the seasoned steak cubes for 2-3 minutes per side until golden-brown, then remove from skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat and add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Return the seared steak bites to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the garlic butter. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add another minced garlic clove, sauté for about 30 seconds, then add 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Gradually stir in ½ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Plate the Garlic Butter Steak Bites, drizzle with the creamy Parmesan sauce, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
