It seems like a lot of 'quick and easy' meals are some version of throwing together chicken with some pasta. Well, this is a quick and easy meal that not only saves you time in the kitchen but fulfills that urge for some red meat. It's a very satisfying meal when you throw it together with a microwaved baked potato and some cut up fruit.

What You Need:

1 T of butter
1 1/4 lb. boneless top sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 4 pieces
3/4 t pepper
3/4 C beef broth
1 T teriyaki sauce
1 onion, cut into thin wedges
1 3/4 C fresh mushrooms, sliced

How to Make It:

Place the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Heat until the butter has completely melted.
Sprinkle the pepper over both sides of all four pieces of steak.
Rub the pepper into the meat using your fingers.
Lay the steaks in the skillet and reduce the heat to medium.
Cook 5 minutes then turn the steaks over.
Continue to cook 4 minutes or until the steaks are done to your liking.
Remove the steaks and keep warm on a platter.
Pour the beef broth and teriyaki sauce into the skillet drippings.
Stir until blended, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Cook for 4 minutes or until just beginning to bubble.
Add the onions and mushrooms.
Cook for 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Place the steaks on plates and top with the onion mushroom mixture.
