Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip), cut into 1-inch cubes Choose good quality steak for the best flavor.
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons Can be swapped with other vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus.
  • 3 tablespoons butter Use unsalted butter for better control of seasoning.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic is preferred for the best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Heat until hot for searing.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust according to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Adjust according to taste.
  • Optional Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish Adds color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the steak bites dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cooking
  1. Add steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
  4. Return the steak bites to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat with the garlic butter.
  5. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the steak is heated through.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat. Avoid using a microwave to prevent toughening the steak.
