Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
For the Steak
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Creamy Parmesan Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Pat steak dry with paper towels. Generously season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat 2 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked to your liking. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in heavy cream, then stir in Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2–3 minutes until thickened.
- Add the steak back to the pan and toss in the creamy sauce until fully coated.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, or veggies.
Notes
You can substitute half-and-half for a lighter sauce. Add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to deglaze the pan for extra flavor. Great with roasted asparagus or garlic mashed potatoes on the side.
