Pepper to taste (freshly cracked is my favorite)
8 oz fettuccine pasta (or your favorite pasta shape)

How to Prepare Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta

Let’s dive into the deliciousness! This recipe is super straightforward, and I promise it’s going to be a hit. First, season your sirloin steak pieces generously with salt and pepper. Don’t hold back; this is where the flavor starts!

Next, heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once it’s nice and bubbly, add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes until they’re beautifully browned on the outside. Ooh, that sizzle is music to my ears! When they’re done, toss in those minced garlic cloves and sauté for another minute until fragrant. It’ll make your kitchen smell heavenly!

Remove the cooked steak from the skillet and set it aside. Now, in that same skillet (oh yes, we’re keeping all that flavor!), add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and pour in the heavy cream. Bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. This is where the magic happens!

While you’re doing this, cook your fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Once it’s al dente, drain it and toss it right into the creamy sauce. Mix well to coat every strand. Finally, serve the pasta topped with those juicy steak bites and don’t forget to garnish with a sprinkle of parsley for that pop of color. Enjoy every bite!

To make sure your garlic butter steak bites with creamy parmesan pasta turn out perfectly, here are my top tips! First, don’t rush the steak. Let it sear undisturbed for that gorgeous brown crust—trust me, it makes a world of difference! Also, use a good quality parmesan cheese; it really elevates the flavor of your sauce. If you want to kick it up a notch, consider adding a splash of white wine to the cream for extra depth. Lastly, keep everything warm while you prepare—nobody likes cold pasta! Follow these tips and you’ll impress everyone at the table!

FAQ Section

Can I use a different type of steak? Absolutely! While sirloin is my go-to, you can use ribeye or tenderloin for even more tenderness. Just adjust the cooking time if needed.

Can I make this dish ahead of time? I recommend cooking the steak and pasta fresh for the best texture. However, you can prepare the sauce ahead and reheat it gently when you’re ready to serve.

What should I serve with garlic butter steak bites? A simple side salad or some garlic bread pairs beautifully with this dish, adding a refreshing touch!

Can I make it dairy-free? Yes! Substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free cheese alternative for a delicious twist.

How do I store leftovers? Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
