Description

These Creamy Steak Bites are tender, juicy, and smothered in a rich, garlicky cream sauce. Quick to make in one pan, this dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special dinner. Serve them over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice for a hearty, satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Steak Bites:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper.
    • Add the steak to the hot skillet in a single layer, searing each side until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
    • Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms:

    • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, approximately 5 minutes.
    • Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Prepare the Cream Sauce:

    • Reduce the heat to medium.
    • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the mushrooms and garlic.
    • Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
    • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
    • Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine Steak and Sauce:

    • Return the seared steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy mushroom sauce to coat evenly.
    • Cook for another 2 minutes to warm the steak through.
  5. Serve:

    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
    • This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side of steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • Steak Selection: Sirloin is recommended for its balance of tenderness and flavor, but ribeye or tenderloin can also be used.
  • Mushroom Variety: Button mushrooms are commonly used, but cremini or portobello mushrooms can add deeper flavor.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat to prevent the sauce from separating.
