A quick, easy, and delicious recipe featuring tender garlic butter steak bites and sautéed mushrooms served over fluffy rice. Perfect for a comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • Salt and black pepper, to season
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked white or brown rice
  • 2 cups beef broth or water (for cooking rice)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine with 2 cups of beef broth or water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes (white rice) or 40-45 minutes (brown rice) until tender. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
  2. While rice is cooking, pat dry the steak cubes with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper. Slice mushrooms evenly.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Add steak cubes in a single layer (in batches if needed). Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a seared crust, then flip and cook another 2 minutes for medium-rare or longer for desired doneness. Remove steak to a plate and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and minced garlic. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and tender, scraping up browned bits.
  6. Return steak bites to the skillet, toss gently to coat with garlic butter and mushroom mixture. Cook together for 1-2 minutes to marry flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Stir in chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
  7. Spoon cooked rice onto plates, top with steak bites and mushrooms, and drizzle any remaining buttery sauce over everything.

Notes

Pat steak dry before seasoning to ensure a good sear. Do not overcrowd the pan when searing steak to avoid steaming. Add olive oil before butter to prevent burning. Use fresh parsley for garnish and flavor brightness. For dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based alternative. Rice can be white jasmine, basmati, or brown rice depending on preference.
