Description
A quick and easy 15-minute recipe featuring tender steak bites and zucchini, all tossed in rich garlic butter for a flavor explosion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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: Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the steak bites dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the seasoned steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side until beautifully browned, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, toss in the minced garlic and cook for approximately 30 seconds, or until fragrant and golden.
- Stir in the zucchini, cooking for about 3-5 minutes until it’s tender-crisp and bright green.
- Return the perfectly seared steak bites back to the skillet. Toss everything together so those glorious garlic butter flavors coat every piece.
- Allow this medley to cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the steak is heated through.
- For a pop of color and flavor, garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the smiles around the table!
