Steak, Mushroom and Gnocchi Skillet Dinner

Ingredients

Marinade:

• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup soy sauce 
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 pinch salt and pepper

Skillet Dinner:

• 1 pound fresh Gnocchi 
• 1 pound cubed beef
• 1 pound Crimini mushrooms
• 1 medium red onion
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter cut into equal sized pats
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 Tbsp fresh parsley minced; garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix all of the marinade ingredients together. Set aside.
2. Dice the steak pieces in half or into bite-sized pieces if using a whole steak.
3. Add the steak pieces into the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Set aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients. You want this to marinade for at least 20 minutes.
4. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to boil, and cook the gnocchi per the package instructions then drain and set aside.
5. Roughly chop or cute the onion into about 1" pieces and set aside.
6. Remove stems from mushrooms, cut into thick slices and set aside with the onion.
7. Using a cast-iron skillet (non-stick is not recommended) melt 2 Tablespoons butter on medium-high heat.
8. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon, leaving as much marinade behind as you can. To get a good sear, you don't want the meat to be really wet. 
9. Add the steak bites to the skillet, without crowding them together (do this in two batches if necessary).
10. Sear for one minute and flip over with tongs.
11. Remove the steak onto a plate, and set aside.
12. Add 1 Tablespoon butter, onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and browned - about 3-5 minutes. 
13. Add the garlic, last Tablespoon of butter and the drained gnocchi to the skillet.
14. Add the seared steak, and any juices to the skillet.
15. Turn off the heat, and stir to combine evenly.
16. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve hot!
