Ingredients For Steak Bites And Mushrooms Recipe

This list provides a quick overview of the ingredients and their role in the recipe. For complete information, scroll down the page to the recipe card.

• Sirloin Steak: Cut into 2-inch cubes.
• Salt & Black Pepper
• Paprika, Garlic Powder, And Italian Seasoning: A mix of herbs that add depth and character to the steak bites.
• Vegetable Oil: Used for searing the steak cubes.
• Butter: Melts over the steak bites for richness and forms the base of the savory garlic butter sauce.

How To Make Steak Bites With Mushrooms

An easy and quick dinner recipe with seared Steak Bites and tender mushrooms sautéed in our favorite garlic butter sauce. The butter adds richness and keeps those steak bites juicy with the added flavors of seasonings and garlic.

1. Season the steak bites with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian Seasoning.
2. Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan or cast iron skillet – make sure the oil is hot before adding in the steak bites.
3. Sear steak bites for a minute; flip over and add butter and garlic. Continue to cook for a minute longer, or until done. The steak bites should not take longer than 2 to 3 minutes to cook through. If you cook them too long, they will be very tough and chewy.
4. Transfer steak bites to a plate and set aside.
5. Add mushrooms to the same skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in butter and more garlic and continue to sauté until done.
6. Stir steak bites and drippings back into the skillet; cook for 30 seconds or until heated through. Serve. 

Tips For Making The Best Steak Bites

• Steak Selection: While Sirloin is recommended, feel free to substitute with Rib Eye, New York Strip, or Tenderloin based on personal preference or availability. The quality of the steak plays a pivotal role in the outcome.
• Skillet Choice: A cast-iron skillet retains heat well and provides a consistent sear, but if you don’t have one, any heavy-bottomed pan will do.
• Don’t Overcrowd: When searing the steak bites, ensure they are in a single layer with space between them. Overcrowding the pan can cause the steak to steam rather than sear.
• Temperature Matters: Steaks should sizzle instantly when placed in the skillet. If not, the skillet may not be hot enough.

Serving Suggestions

• If you want to keep it a low-carb/Keto dinner, go with some zucchini noodles and a Grilled Blooming Onion.
• You can also serve steak bites with Maple Mustard Roasted Potatoes or this amazing Roasted Butternut Squash Salad.
• For those who love a full meal, serve the steak bites with this Lemon Parmesan Risotto and our delicious Baby Bok Choy.

Storage

• Store the steak bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
