Ingredients

• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Parmesan Cream Sauce:

• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup light cream (or half-and-half)
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak
Pat steak pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Steak Bites
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from pan and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the cream and whisk in Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Combine & Serve
Return steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer another minute to let the flavors blend.

5. Garnish & Enjoy
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot over pasta, rice, or mashed cauliflower.
