How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites with a Rich Parmesan Cream Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

Directions
