Instructions

Prepare the Steak:
Pat steak pieces dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Sear the Steak Bites:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer (do not overcrowd). Sear for 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Mushrooms:
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4–5 minutes until browned and tender.
Add Garlic and Butter:
Reduce heat to medium. Stir in butter and minced garlic, letting the butter melt and sizzle for 30 seconds to release aroma.
Combine and Coat:
Return steak bites to the pan. Add soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce (if using) and toss everything to coat in the buttery sauce.
Serve:
Sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side.

Notes

Perfect Sear: Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the steak for a deep, caramelized crust.
Don’t Overcrowd: Cook steak in batches if needed; overcrowding causes steaming instead of searing.
Room Temperature Meat: Let steak rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking — it ensures even cooking.
Add Wine: Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine or beef broth for extra flavor.
Meal Prep Tip: You can pre-chop and season the steak ahead of time, refrigerate, and cook just before serving.
