Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season thoroughly with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until just smoking.
  • Add steak cubes in a single layer, searing for 2 minutes per side until a crust forms and internal temperature reaches desired level of doneness.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add 2 tablespoons of butter and half of the minced garlic to the pan, tossing the steak to coat for 1 minute.
  • Remove steak from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining butter and garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the heavy cream and garlic powder, scraping the bottom of the pan to release browned bits (fond).
  • Simmer the cream for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, then stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Return the steak bites to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
