Directions

1. Start by seasoning the steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Once the skillet is hot, add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

3. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil and toss in the sliced mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.

4. While the vegetables cook, slice the rested steak into thin strips.

5. In the skillet with the vegetables, add the garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and butter. Stir until everything is well combined and the sauce thickens slightly.

6. Serve the steak and vegetables over the cooked rice, then drizzle with the sauce from the skillet. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
