Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Butter Steak
  1. Begin by patting the steak cubes dry with paper towels, season generously with salt and pepper, and let sit.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and sear the steak cubes for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium, melt unsalted butter, stir in minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Return seared steak to the skillet and toss to coat in garlic butter.
  4. In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, sauté one minced garlic clove, add heavy cream, and simmer. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth.
  5. Serve the garlic butter steak bites on a platter, drizzle with Parmesan sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
