Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Steak Bites:
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Creamy Blue Cheese Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak
Season the bite-sized sirloin pieces generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Sear the Steak Bites
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness (medium-rare recommended for tenderness). Remove the steak bites to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
3. Make the Garlic Base
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden—don’t let it burn!
4. Build the Creamy Blue Cheese Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream thickens slightly. Stir in the crumbled blue cheese, grated Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until the cheeses melt completely and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
5. Combine and Serve
Return the seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything in the luscious sauce and warm through for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot and bubbly! 10 “LARGE” 11 “LARGE”
