Step-by-step instructions
- Start by patting the steak cubes dry; this helps with the searing process. Season them generously with Chef Bae Seasoning.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Add the seasoned steak bites to the hot skillet; cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are beautifully browned and juicy. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, drop in the butter, followed by the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté until they’re soft and caramelized; this might take around 4-5 minutes.
- Add the steak bites back into the skillet, and if you like, a splash of soy or steak sauce. Toss everything well to mix the flavors, then remove from heat.
Best ways to enjoy it
This dish is not just about flavors; it’s about presentation too! Serve the steak bites on a platter with the sautéed onions and mushrooms elegantly arranged on top. Pair it with creamy mashed potatoes or a refreshing side salad for a complete meal. If you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some crusty bread for soaking up those delightful juices!
Keeping leftovers fresh
To store your leftover steak bites, let them cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container in the fridge. They can stay fresh for up to 3 days. When reheating, a quick sauté in a skillet over low heat works best to keep your steak tender. If you want to freeze, make sure to do so in a freezer-safe bag, and they’ll last for up to 3 months.
Pro chef tips
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when searing the steak; this ensures a good sear.
- If you prefer a little heat, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes while sautéing the onions and mushrooms.
- For an extra depth of flavor, you could marinate the steak in the soy or steak sauce for about 30 minutes before cooking.
