Billy Ngo, now chef at Kru, a Japanese restaurant in Sacramento, shared this dish inspired by his previous restaurant, Red Lotus. Long, slender clamshell mushrooms have a great creamy texture, but if you can't find them, use small cremini or chanterelles.

Pat steak dry; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak, turning once, until browned but still pink in center, about 3 minutes total. Arrange steak on plates.
