Description
A quick and easy 20-minute weeknight dinner featuring seared sirloin steak bites and cremini mushrooms in a rich garlic butter sauce. This one-skillet meal is high-protein, low-carb, and restaurant-quality.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado or vegetable)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ cup low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Pat the steak bites completely dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with neutral oil until shimmering.
- Sear steak bites in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary) for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and add mushrooms to the same pan. Cook until water evaporates and mushrooms are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Push mushrooms to the side, reduce heat to low, and melt butter in the center. Add garlic and stir constantly for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add beef broth and scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan (deglaze).
- Toss mushrooms with the sauce, return steak and juices to the pan, and cook for 30 seconds to warm through.
- Remove from heat, stir in parsley and optional red pepper flakes, and serve immediately.
Notes
Pat steak dry to ensure a good sear. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the meat. Cook garlic on low heat to prevent burning. Let steak rest briefly after searing to redistribute juices. This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free broth.
