Steak and Shiitake Mushroom Cream Pasta (Not Quite Stroganoff)

850 grams. of steak strips (I used 2 large pieces, perforated sirloin, Lawry's Seasoning Salt, then rubbed with Extra Virgin Olive Oil) tossed with crushed garlic (half a head) and more EVOO. Added some fresh lemon as well. Let sit for at least an hour. 


Saute 1 large onion and aforesaid garlic in EVOO (trimmed fat from steak and used in saute). Add butter, then toss in Shiitake (6-8 large whole, julienned) strips.  Sweat the mushroom. Pepper. Put aside. 


Reuse olive oil, add more butter, shock fry steak on high heat (less than a minute).  


Deglaze with a can of Campbell's Mushroom Soup (plus same can with water taken from cooking pasta). Extremely low heat, simmer. Add a can/tetra pack of all purpose cream. Dollop of butter. Adjust seasoning to taste (salt and pepper). 


Toss in pasta (fettucine works better). Parmigiano.
