Step 1
Pat beef dry. If cutlets are thick, pound them between plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thickness. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear beef 60–90 seconds per side without moving. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add mushrooms and garlic to the same skillet. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms release moisture and edges brown, ~4 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in wine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until liquid reduces by half, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Return beef to the pan. Squeeze lemon juice over the top, scatter parsley, and serve hot straight from the skillet.
