A quick and easy recipe featuring tender steak cubes seared in garlic butter with earthy mushrooms, perfect for a satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
  • 8 oz cremini or white button mushrooms, cleaned and halved
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Cut the steak into roughly 1-inch cubes. Clean and halve the mushrooms. Mince the garlic finely.
  2. Season the steak cubes generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  3. Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the steak cubes in a single layer without crowding. Sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a golden crust. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes for medium-rare. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Toss in the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until they release their juices and start to brown, stirring occasionally.
  6. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and 3 tablespoons of butter to the mushrooms. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
  7. Return the seared steak bites to the skillet and toss everything together, coating with garlic butter. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to marry flavors.
  8. Remove from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

Use room temperature steak cubes and pat dry before seasoning for best crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking mushrooms to ensure browning. Add olive oil before butter to prevent burning. Let steak bites sear undisturbed to develop a golden crust. Adjust cooking time for preferred doneness. Parsley adds a fresh contrast to richness.
