Description
A quick and easy skillet recipe featuring tender steak tips and earthy mushrooms in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak tips or sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, to prevent butter burning)
- 5 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 8 ounces cremini or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup beef broth (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cut steak into roughly 1-inch cubes and slice mushrooms thinly. Mince garlic and chop fresh herbs if using. Pat steak dry with paper towels.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter and a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak pieces in a single layer without crowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and sear for another 2 minutes until browned but still juicy. Cook in batches if needed. Transfer steak to a plate and tent with foil to rest.
- In the same pan, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Once melted, add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and moisture is released, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, avoiding burning.
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in fresh thyme or rosemary.
- Return steak tips and any juices to the skillet. Toss to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately, spooning extra sauce and mushrooms over the steak tips.
