Buttery Garlic Steak Bites with Sautéed Mushrooms
Tender sirloin steak bites are briefly marinated with coconut aminos or soy sauce, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then quickly seared for a browned exterior. Sautéed mushrooms and onions join the bites in a rich garlic-butter sauce, finished with fresh parsley for a savory, herb-flecked dish suited to an appetizer spread or a satisfying main course.

Add steak pieces to the marinade, squeeze out the air, and seal the bag. Gently move the steak pieces around inside the bag to coat them with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 15 to 20 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a microwave-safe dish, stir in minced garlic, and set aside. Drain the marinade from the steak pieces and gently blot them with paper towels.

Heat the remaining butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When the butter is sizzling, add the steak pieces in a single layer and sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Brown the steak in batches, if needed. Remove the steak from the skillet to a plate and tent with foil; set aside to rest.

Add mushrooms and onions to the same skillet. Stir frequently until the mushrooms and onions begin to pick up some color, about 2 minutes. Add water if the skillet seems dry, and reduce the heat to medium.

Add the garlic butter to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir in the steak pieces and any accumulated juices, and coat them with the garlic butter in the skillet. Sprinkle parsley over the skillet and remove from heat. Garnish with additional fresh parsley sprigs, if desired.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
