1. Prep the Steak

1. Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels.

2. Season with paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Cook the Steak Bites

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add steak in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).

3. Sear 2–3 minutes on each side or until browned.

4. Add butter and minced garlic.

5. Stir for 1 minute as the garlic becomes fragrant.

6. Remove steak bites from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce

1. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium.

2. Add butter and let it melt.

3. Whisk in flour to form a smooth paste (30 seconds).

4. Slowly pour in milk and cream while whisking.

5. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

6. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thick and creamy.

4. Combine

• Add the cooked steak bites back into the skillet.

• Spoon sauce over the top and stir gently.

• Cook 1 extra minute to warm everything through.

5. Serve

• Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

• Garnish with parsley if desired.
