Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 800 g flank steak or sirloin cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 20 g light butter divided
  • 10 ml olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 150 ml beef bone broth
  • 100 g low fat cream cheese
  • 40 g Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • whisk
  • tongs

Method
 

  1. Season steak cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat skillet over high heat with olive oil and 10g butter. Sear steak in a single layer for 2-3 mins per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 10g butter and sauté minced garlic and dried parsley for 1 min.
  4. Pour in beef bone broth, scraping up the browned bits from the pan.
  5. Add low fat cream cheese and whisk until smooth. Stir in Parmesan and red pepper flakes; simmer 2-3 mins until thickened.
  6. Return steak to the pan, toss to coat, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Pat steak dry and ensure it's at room temperature for the best sear. Use low fat cream cheese and bone broth to keep the sauce high in protein and lower in calories. Reheat gently in a skillet to prevent separation.
