Juicy steak bites seared to perfection and tossed with garlic butter and mushrooms for a quick, comforting dinner that’s easy to prepare and full of rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 oz baby bella or cremini mushrooms, halved or quartered
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Juice of half a lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season evenly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until golden. Stir and cook another 2 minutes until tender. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
  3. Increase heat to high and add 2 tablespoons butter to the pan. Once melted and foaming, add steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 2 minutes without moving, then flip and cook another 2 minutes for medium-rare.
  4. Push steak to one side or remove if cooking in batches. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and minced garlic. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in thyme leaves and red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Return mushrooms to the pan, gently toss everything together, and cook for 1 more minute to meld flavors. Squeeze lemon juice over the top if desired and garnish with chopped parsley.
  6. Serve immediately, ideally with creamy risotto, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Notes

Pat steak dry for a good sear; avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming; add butter after searing to avoid burning; rest steak bites briefly if desired; add splash of beef broth or more butter if pan dries out.
