Ah, Steak Bites with Mushrooms—a quick, savory dish that’s perfect for weeknights or a low-carb dinner. Here’s a detailed, foolproof recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: splash of Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Prep the Steak:
- Pat beef cubes dry with paper towels.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Sear the Steak Bites:
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over high heat.
- Add beef cubes in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
- Sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned but still medium-rare inside. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Mushrooms:
- Reduce heat to medium-high.
- Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet.
- Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Sauté 5–7 minutes until golden and tender.
- Add garlic and thyme during the last minute.
- Combine Steak and Mushrooms:
- Return steak bites to the skillet, toss to combine, and cook 1–2 minutes.
- Optional: add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar for extra depth.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.
💡 Tips:
- Make sure the steak is dry before searing; moisture prevents browning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—sear in batches if needed for a nice crust.
- For extra richness, you can swirl in a tablespoon of butter at the end.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan garlic butter version that’s super quick and extra decadent—perfect if you’re craving steak bites fast.
