Ingredients
✔ 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
✔ 2 tbsp olive oil
✔ 1 tbsp unsalted butter
✔ 4 garlic cloves, minced
✔ Salt and pepper, to taste
✔ 1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
For the Parmesan Cream Sauce:
✔ 2 tbsp unsalted butter
✔ 1 cup heavy cream
✔ 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
✔ 1 tbsp garlic, minced
✔ Salt and pepper, to taste
✔ Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Notes
✔ Choose the Right Cut: Sirloin works great, but you can also use ribeye or filet for extra tenderness.
✔ Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Searing in batches ensures a perfect crust on the steak bites.
✔ Let the Steak Rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a couple of minutes to keep it juicy.
✔ Adjust the Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk or broth. If too thin, simmer longer until it thickens.
✔ For Extra Flavor: Add a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice to the Parmesan sauce.
✔ Perfect Side Dishes: Pair with creamy mashed potatoes, garlic bread, buttered noodles, or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
✔ Spicy Kick: Love heat? Sprinkle in red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for extra zing!
