Ingredients
  

Steak
  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak cubed
  • 1 tsp sea salt fine
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper cracked
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil high smoke
Creamy Garlic Sauce
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter cold
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream room temp
  • 0.5 cup beef broth low sodium
  • 0.25 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • tongs
  • whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Chef Knife

Method
 

Searing the Beef
  1. Pat the steak cubes completely dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over high heat until it begins to shimmer.
  3. Add the steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and sear for 2 minutes per side until deeply browned.
  4. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside on a plate to rest while you prepare the sauce.
Building the Sauce
  1. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, whisking constantly as the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in the parmesan cheese and let the sauce thicken for 3–5 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Return the steak and any accumulated juices to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce and garnishing with fresh parsley.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure your heavy cream is at room temperature before adding it to the skillet to prevent the sauce from breaking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat on low power with a splash of broth to maintain the creaminess.
