Instructions
Place steak cubes in a mixing bowl; season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and Italian Seasoning. Toss to combine.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer. If it doesn't sizzle, the skillet is not hot enough.
Sear the steak bites for 1 minute - do not move them around. Using tongs or a spatula, flip the steak bites over; add 2 tablespoons butter and stir in half of the minced garlic. Continue to cook for 1 to 2 more minutes or until the steak is done. Do not overcook the steak.
Transfer the steak bites to a plate and keep them covered.
Add remaining vegetable oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, or until browned.
Add remaining butter and stir in the rest of the garlic; let cook for 2 to 3 more minutes or until soft. Stir the steak and drippings back into the skillet and cook for 30 more seconds or until heated through.
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. If your skillet isn't big enough, you may have to cook the steak bites in 2 to 3 batches.
Steak: If you can’t find/don’t have Sirloin Steak, you can also use Rib Eye, New York Strip, or Tenderloin Steak.
Seasonings: While the recipe provides specific seasonings, feel free to adjust or add according to what you like.
Storing Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the steak.
