Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes approx. 680g
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or other high-smoke point oil
  • Kosher Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter 57g
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 0.5 cup beef broth 120ml
  • 1 cup heavy cream 240ml
  • 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 50g
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 8g

Equipment

  • 1 Large Cast-Iron Skillet (12-inch)
  • 1 Sharp Chef's Knife
  • 1 Tongs

Method
 

  1. Pat the steak cubes completely dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches, sear the steak for 60-90 seconds per side until a deep brown crust forms. Remove steak to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes to thicken.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Return the seared steak bites and their juices to the skillet. Stir to coat and heat through for about a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

Don't Crowd the Pan: Searing the steak in batches is crucial for a good crust.
Use Freshly Grated Parmesan: Pre-shredded cheese can make the sauce grainy. Always grate your own.
Control Your Heat: Use high heat for the sear, but low heat for the garlic to prevent burning.
Serve Immediately: These steak bites are best served hot right out of the skillet.
