Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Garnish
  • to taste fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the steak bites dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cooking
  1. Add steak bites in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add butter and melt, then add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add zucchini and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
  4. Return steak bites to the skillet, toss to coat with garlic butter, and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, cook steak bites in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Consider marinating the steak bites for extra tenderness. Substitute other proteins like chicken or shrimp if desired.
