Method

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

Trim excess fat and cut steak into evenly sized cubes. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2: Make the Marinade

In a bowl, mix Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Marinate

Add steak cubes to the marinade and mix well. Cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 4: Heat the Pan

Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and let it get hot until shimmering.

Step 5: Cook the Steak Tips

Place steak in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.

Add sliced onions and mushrooms during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Stir to combine.

Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
