Description
A speedy and flavorful recipe featuring juicy steak bites seared in garlic butter with tender mushrooms, perfect for a cozy and satisfying meal in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
Instructions
- Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Slice mushrooms evenly.
- Heat a cast iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil until shimmering.
- Add steak cubes in a single layer without crowding. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a crust, then turn and cook another 2-3 minutes until medium-rare or preferred doneness. Remove steak and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon butter and mushrooms to the pan. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes until browned and softened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Push mushrooms to the side, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and minced garlic. Stir quickly and cook garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return steak bites to the pan and toss to coat in garlic butter sauce. Warm through for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top, toss gently, and serve immediately.
Notes
Pat steak dry before searing to ensure a good crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook steak in batches if necessary. Add garlic after mushrooms soften to prevent burning. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or vegan butter. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet.
