Simple and delicious, this skillet steak is wonderfully seasoned with cumin and coriander. The thin slices are tender and a wonderful companion to the sautéed exotic mushrooms. Though button mushrooms work just fine in this recipe, oyster mushrooms and other less-traditional varieties like shiitake, enoki, and maitake bring a rich complexity to the dish. Ready in a quick 24 minutes, the steak and mushrooms pair well with a bed of warm quinoa or brown rice, ideal to absorb the juices of the dish. Make it a pasta dish by serving over fettuccini instead of rice or serve on thick slices of toasted sourdough bread.

Notes

Look for packages of mixed wild mushrooms in the produce section at the supermarket. If they are not available, you can use any combination of mushrooms that you find.
