• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the Steak Bites:

2. Add the steak cubes, salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked to your preferred doneness.
3. Add butter and minced garlic to the pan, stirring to coat the steak bites. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Remove the steak bites from the pan and set aside.

1. In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat.
2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
4. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Add broth if a thinner consistency is desired.

3. Assemble & Serve:

1. Return the steak bites to the pan, tossing to coat in the Parmesan cream sauce.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice.
