  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or filet) Choose cuts like sirloin or filet mignon for optimal tenderness.
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons Adds a nutritious crunch.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh enhances the flavor significantly.
  • 4 tablespoons butter Grass-fed for added health benefits if desired.

  • for garnish fresh parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces. Season well with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the steak pieces and sear for about 3–4 minutes until browned but still tender.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and stir frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Add the zucchini slices to the skillet, toss, and cook for another 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and enveloping the steak and zucchini.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For a tangy twist, substitute lemon juice for some butter. Use coconut oil for a dairy-free option. To lighten the dish, use olive oil instead of butter and opt for leaner cuts of meat. Leftover steak bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
