Ingredients:
- 4 minute steaks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green pepper
- 3 tablespoons diced onion
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
Instructions:
-
Prepare Steaks: Begin by sprinkling the minute steaks evenly with salt and lemon pepper, ensuring they are well seasoned on both sides.
-
Heat Skillet: In a large 12-inch skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until it shimmers, indicating it’s hot and ready for cooking.
-
Cook Steaks: Carefully add the seasoned minute steaks to the skillet, laying them flat to ensure even cooking. Cook the steaks over medium heat until they are beautifully browned and cooked through, which should take approximately 15 minutes. Remember to flip them halfway through the cooking process to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
-
Add Vegetables: Once the steaks are cooked to perfection, it’s time to introduce the flavorful vegetables to the skillet. Add the diced green pepper, onion, and sliced mushrooms (along with any juice they release) to the skillet with the cooked steaks.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and allow the steak and vegetable mixture to simmer gently for an additional 7 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, creating a deliciously harmonious dish.
-
Serve: Once the minute steaks and vegetables have simmered to perfection, it’s time to plate up your culinary masterpiece. Serve the Mushroom Minute Steaks hot, alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy the hearty flavors and tender textures of this delightful dish with your loved ones.

Recipe Notes:
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider marinating the minute steaks in your favorite steak marinade for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables in this dish according to your preferences. Bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and even thinly sliced carrots or zucchini would all make delicious additions.
- Ensure the skillet is large enough to accommodate all the steaks without overcrowding. Overcrowding the skillet can cause the steaks to steam rather than brown, resulting in a less flavorful final dish.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a splash of beef broth or red wine to the skillet along with the vegetables, then simmer until slightly reduced.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop for a quick and convenient meal.
