Clean the king oyster mushrooms and cut them into 1-inch pieces to resemble steak bites.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the mushroom pieces to the skillet in a single layer and cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes until they start to brown.
Turn the mushrooms and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt completely.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring continuously to prevent burning, for about 1 minute.
Pour in the soy sauce and stir until the mushrooms are well-coated.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the mushroom steak bites before serving hot.
