### **Ingredients for Cajun Butter Steak Bites with Mushrooms:**
To make this delicious dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– **1 lb (450g) sirloin steak or flank steak**, cut into bite-sized cubes
– **1 tablespoon olive oil**
– **1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning** (adjust to taste)
– **Salt and pepper**, to taste
– **2 tablespoons unsalted butter**
– **1 tablespoon olive oil** (for sautéing)
– **1/2 cup onion**, thinly sliced
– **2 cups mushrooms**, sliced (white button, cremini, or your choice)
– **3 cloves garlic**, minced
– **1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika**
– **1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes** (optional, for added heat)
– **1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce**
– **1/4 cup beef broth** (or water)
– **Fresh parsley**, chopped (for garnish)
### **Instructions:**
#### 1. **Prepare the Steak Bites:**
Start by cutting the steak into bite-sized cubes. Season the steak pieces with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss the cubes to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
#### 2. **Sear the Steak Bites:**
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned steak cubes to the pan in a single layer. Let them sear for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the steak bites are nicely browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness (medium-rare to medium works best for this dish). Once cooked, transfer the steak bites to a plate and set aside.
#### 3. **Sauté the Mushrooms and Onions:**
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are tender and browned. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
#### 4. **Add the Garlic and Seasonings:**
Once the mushrooms and onions are cooked, add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
#### 5. **Make the Cajun Butter Sauce:**
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet, stirring it into the mushrooms and onions until it melts and creates a rich, flavorful sauce. Add the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth to the pan. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the mushrooms and onions.
6. **Combine Steak Bites with the Sauce:**
Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, tossing them gently to combine with the mushroom and butter sauce. Let everything cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the steak bites to absorb the delicious flavors of the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional Cajun seasoning as needed.
