Seared steak bites with mushrooms in a hot pan — Wednesday low carb dinner done in 15 minutes. Fast, savory, satisfying.
Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces, pat dry, and season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Wipe the mushrooms clean and cut into quarters to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. When butter melts and foams, add steak bites in a single layer—do not crowd the pan.
Sear steak pieces for about 2 minutes on each side until deeply browned. Remove steak from the pan to a plate and cover loosely with foil to retain moisture.
Add remaining 1 tbsp butter to the pan, toss in mushrooms, the rest of the salt and pepper, and sauté over medium-high heat until golden and moisture evaporates (about 4-5 minutes).
Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, then return steak to the pan and toss everything together just to heat through—do not overcook the steak.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
