For the Steak:

500g beef steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 garlic cloves, finely minced

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

For the Creamy Sauce:

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

步驟

STEP 1: SEAR THE STEAK

Pat the beef cubes dry using paper towels to achieve a perfect crust.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering.

Add steak pieces in a single layer without overcrowding and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply browned.

Lower the heat slightly, add butter, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper, then toss everything together until fragrant and glossy.

Remove steak bites from the pan and set aside.

STEP 2: PREPARE THE CREAMY GARLIC SAUCE

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.

Stir in Parmesan cheese, chili flakes, salt, and pepper, allowing the sauce to thicken into a velvety texture.

Finish with a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

STEP 3: COMBINE AND SERVE

Return the steak bites to the skillet and coat them generously in the creamy sauce.

Let everything simmer together for 2 minutes so the flavors fully blend.

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately while hot and sizzling.

Dressing Suggestion:

Serve with a light garlic yogurt drizzle or a fresh herb lemon dressing on the side to balance the richness beautifully.

Pro Tips:

Use a hot pan for a perfect crust and avoid overcrowding to keep the steak juicy.

Let the steak rest briefly before adding back to the sauce for maximum tenderness.

For extra depth, add a pinch of smoked paprika.

Healthy Tips:

Swap heavy cream with light cooking cream for a lighter version.

Use grass-fed lean beef for a healthier protein choice.

Replace beef with seared mushrooms or tofu cubes and use plant-based cream and cheese alternatives.
