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

- Prepare the steak: Pat the steak bites dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Sear the steak bites in a single layer for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat until bubbly.
- Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Cook the zucchini in the skillet for about 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Combine the seared steak bites back into the skillet and toss everything together.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the steak is heated through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve over rice or quinoa, and pair with a fresh salad or crusty bread. Red wine complements the meal well.
