  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 ½ cups (204 g) orzo pasta, uncooked
  • 3 cups (720 g / 24 ounces) chicken broth
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup (178.5 g) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup (100 g) parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, optional
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley chopped for garnish
  • 1 pound top sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the orzo, toasting it while stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly golden.
  2. Add chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the orzo is tender. Remove from heat and keep covered.
  3. In another skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium-high. Once melted, add the mushrooms, cooking undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until browned.
  4. Season the mushrooms with a pinch of kosher salt, then add the diced onion and stir. Cook until the mushrooms are golden and the moisture has evaporated, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the heat to medium-low, then add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, the remaining kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir gently and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
  7. Stir in lemon juice.
  8. Combine the mushroom sauce with the cooked orzo, mixing until creamy. Cover loosely to keep warm while preparing the steak.
  9. Wipe out the skillet used for mushrooms and pat the steak cubes dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  10. Heat vegetable oil in the skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Cook the steak in a single layer for about 2 minutes without moving them to form a crust, then flip and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to reach desired doneness.
  11. Lower the heat, add butter, and spoon the melted butter over the steak for 30 seconds.
  12. Serve the creamy mushroom orzo topped with steak bites, garnished with chopped parsley.
