Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1 lb beef fast-fry steak e.g. strip loin or top sirloin
  • 1 Tbsp Montreal steak spice
  • 12 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp dried thyme or oregano leaves
  • 1 lb yellow-fleshed potatoes, halved
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas
Imperial – Metric

Instructions

  • Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks all over with steak spice. In batches, cook steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until browned. Transfer to a plate. Tent with foil.
  • Add the remaining oil and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned and tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic and thyme; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in potatoes and toss to coat well. Pour in 1 cup water. Cook, covered and stirring occasionally, for 15 to 18 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender and browned, adding additional water if necessary. Add lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice steak on a diagonal across the grain, into thin strips. Return steak, mushrooms and any accumulated juices to the skillet with the potatoes. Add the peas and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes until peas are cooked through.
  • 5. Serve with some cooked green beans and a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
