2 tablespoons unsalted butter: The base for the sauce.

2 cloves garlic, minced: Adds bold, savory flavor.

1 cup heavy cream: Creates a luscious, creamy texture.

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese: For a cheesy, savory kick.

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning: Adds a herby note to the sauce.

Salt and pepper, to taste: Balances and enhances the flavors.

Red pepper flakes (optional): For a slight spicy kick.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Season and Sear the Steak

Pat the steak bites dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon butter.

Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add half the steak bites in a single layer.

Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Repeat with the remaining steak bites, adding the second tablespoon of butter if needed.

2. Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce

Reduce the heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer …
