In a small bowl whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dice steak into bite-size pieces. Toss to coat steak pieces with marinade, cover or seal and refrigerate. Let marinate for 1 to 8 hours.

Return the previously cooked steak to the skillet. Add the butter and crushed garlic to the skillet with the steak. Let garlic toast 1 minute. Add in the cooked gnocchi and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until gnocchi is lightly browned.
Return the mushrooms to the skillet at this point.
Gently stir to combine the ingredients.
Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese.
