Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds steak rib-eye, sirloin, or filet, cut into cubes
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 6 oz mushrooms quartered

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and garlic.
  • Place steak cubes in a large zip-top bag. Pour sauce over the meat and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours to marinate.
  • Heat vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Work in batches to sear the steak pieces until browned on all sides. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. Toss in mushrooms and cook until golden and tender, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Return steak to pan with mushrooms. Pour in a few tablespoons of the leftover marinade and stir until everything is hot and coated in sauce.
  • Serve hot, optionally garnished with sliced scallions or sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Don’t skip drying the steak after marinating — it helps get a better sear.
  • Cook steak in batches for the best caramelization.
  • For a saucier version, reduce remaining marinade in a small pot and drizzle on top before serving.
