Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

For the Steak

  • 1 lb Steak (sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip) Substitute with flank steak or tenderloin and adjust searing time as necessary.

For the Zucchini

  • 2 cups Zucchini Substitute with broccoli, bell peppers, or asparagus; adjust cooking time.

For the Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 cloves Garlic Mince finely for even distribution.
  • 4 tbsp Butter Can replace with olive oil.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Used for searing the steak.

For Seasoning

  • 1 tsp Salt Fresh ground salt gives the best flavor.
  • 1 tsp Pepper Fresh ground pepper enhances flavor.

Instructions

Instructions

  • Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure they sear nicely. Generously season with salt and pepper just before cooking for the best flavor.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Add the steak cubes in a single layer, searing for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
  • Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until it's fragrant but not burnt.
  • Toss in the sliced zucchini and stir for 3-5 minutes until it reaches a tender-crisp state, absorbing the delicious flavors.
  • Return the seared steak to the skillet, tossing to coat every bite in the rich garlic butter. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure everything is warmed through.

Notes

Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
