Wok Seared Rib-Eye Steak, Green Onions and Baby Portobello Mushrooms

Portobello mushrooms are sautéed with green onions and removed from the pan. Then the steak is sliced into ¼” strips and cooked in Canola Oil. The mushrooms are returned, along with a big glug of soy sauce, to cook until they get nicely coated. You don't even need salt. There's enough in the low-sodium soy sauce to make everything properly seasoned. Serve this with some plain rice and steamed broccoli. Serves 1 to 2; adapted from SeriousEats.com.

Canola Oil

1/4 cup Green Onions, chopped (optional – shallots)

10 Baby Portobello Mushrooms, stems removed, thinly sliced (Option – Shiitake)
