Where this dish comes from

Grilled beef with mushrooms and onions is a pan-Latin staple rooted in the Mexican parrilla tradition, where open-flame cooking of beef cuts like arrachera (skirt steak) and sirloin dates back to ranching culture in northern Mexico. Mushrooms, particularly cremini and oyster varieties, became a common accompaniment in urban fondas and casual steakhouses throughout central Mexico, where the combination echoes both indigenous appreciation for wild mushrooms and Spanish meat-forward cooking influences brought during the colonial era.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb skirt steak (or sirloin), cut into 2 portions
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Small handful of fresh cilantro leaves
  • Optional: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce added to mushrooms
Instructions
  1. 1

    Remove steak from the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Pat dry and season all over with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, then lay the steak in the pan. Sear 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the steak rests, lower heat to medium-high in the same pan. Add 1 tbsp butter and the sliced mushrooms in a single layer. Don't stir for the first 2–3 minutes — let them brown. Once golden, stir and cook 2 more minutes. Season with a pinch of salt. Remove mushrooms and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same pan, add 1 tbsp butter and the sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until softened and golden brown. Add minced garlic and cook 1 more minute.

  5. 5

    Return mushrooms to the pan, stir to combine with onions and garlic. Add Worcestershire sauce if using. Keep warm on low heat.

  6. 6

    Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Fan the slices on a plate and top with the mushroom-onion mixture.

  7. 7

    Finish with a small pat of butter over the hot steak, scatter fresh cilantro leaves on top, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
