Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 ½ lbs steak (sirloin, ribeye, or filet), cut into bite-sized cubes
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Prepare the steak – Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them brown better. Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).
2. Sear the steak – Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
3. Cook the mushrooms – In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
4. Add the garlic butter – Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the pan, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
5. Combine everything – Return the steak bites to the pan and toss with the garlic butter and mushrooms until everything is well coated. Cook for another minute to reheat the steak.
6. Garnish and serve – Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy on its own or with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side salad.
