09 -
2 grams Italian seasoning
10 -
3 grams salt

2 grams ground black pepper

13 -
120 milliliters heavy cream (full fat)
14 -
30 grams freshly grated Parmesan cheese
# Steps:
01 -
Generously season the steak cubes with salt and black pepper on all sides. Allow the meat to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
02 -
Heat olive oil and 30 grams butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts and the mixture is hot but not smoky. Arrange the steak cubes in a single layer with space between each piece. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until a deep brown crust forms while keeping the inside medium-rare to medium.
03 -
Remove the steak from the skillet and add 15 grams butter to the same pan. Sauté half of the minced garlic with thyme, rosemary, and parsley in the butter over medium heat for about 60 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
04 -
Return the seared steak bites to the skillet, tossing gently with the garlic herb butter to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld flavors without overcooking. Remove from heat and set aside.
05 -
In a separate skillet, melt 15 grams butter over medium heat. Add the remaining minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer without boiling. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning continuously until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
06 -
Serve steak bites hot with the Parmesan cream sauce either drizzled over or on the side as a dipping sauce. Pair with preferred sides such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow the steak to rest after searing to let juices redistribute and avoid overcooking. Use freshly grated Parmesan for optimal sauce texture and flavor.
02 -
The sauce will thicken when standing; prepare it slightly thinner than desired consistency to compensate.
