In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until they begin to brown.

Place the vegetable combination in a bowl and cover it with a paper towel. Add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to the meat. Add the beef pieces to the saucepan after adding a little extra vegetable oil that has been heated to a high temperature.
