1 serving (medium) of Beef sautéed with mushrooms (180 g) has 261 calories. That works out to 145 calories per 100 g. It contains 5.8 g of carbs, 31.5 g of protein, 13 g of fat and 2.2 g of fiber.

Beef sautéed with mushrooms is a home-style dish of bite-sized or thinly sliced beef browned in a pan with sliced mushrooms, then cooked until tender, often with a little of the juices forming a glossy sauce. It is familiar in Turkish cooking, where a quick pan sauté is an easy way to turn beef and vegetables into a substantial main course.
The beef is savoury and tender, while mushrooms bring a gentle earthy flavour and softer, juicy texture. Serve it with rice, bread or a crisp salad; for a lighter plate, keep the added oil modest and add extra vegetables. It is protein- and iron-rich, with mushrooms contributing some fibre and minerals.

Beef sautéed with mushrooms is made by browning bite-sized beef pieces in a hot pan, then cooking them with sliced mushrooms and aromatics until tender. Add the mushrooms after the beef has browned so they do not make the pan overcrowded and watery.
Tender cuts such as sirloin or tenderloin work well for beef sautéed with mushrooms because they cook quickly. If you use a tougher cut, simmer it covered with a little liquid until tender before adding the mushrooms.
To keep beef sautéed with mushrooms tender, cut the beef across the grain and brown it quickly in a very hot pan. Avoid crowding the pan, which makes the meat steam; tougher cuts need a longer, covered simmer.
Beef sautéed with mushrooms is often tough because the beef was overcooked, cut with the grain, or taken from a cut that needs longer cooking. Slice across the grain and either cook tender cuts briefly or braise tougher pieces until soft.
Keep beef sautéed with mushrooms from becoming watery by drying the mushrooms and cooking them in a wide, hot pan without a lid. Brown the beef in batches too, so moisture can evaporate instead of pooling around the ingredients.
Cremini or white button mushrooms are reliable choices for beef sautéed with mushrooms, while shiitake adds a deeper savory flavor. Slice them thick enough to hold their shape and cook them until their released liquid has mostly evaporated.
A simple pan sauce of beef stock, garlic, and a little Worcestershire sauce suits beef sautéed with mushrooms. Stir it into the browned bits left in the pan and simmer briefly; add cream only if you want a richer version.
Serve beef sautéed with mushrooms with mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or crusty bread to catch the sauce. Steamed greens or a crisp salad balance the rich, savory dish without competing with its mushroom flavor.
Beef sautéed with mushrooms keeps for up to three to four days in the refrigerator when promptly cooled and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until it is steaming hot throughout.
Yes, beef sautéed with mushrooms can be frozen in an airtight container once cooled. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stove; mushrooms may soften after freezing, but the dish remains suitable for serving.
