Tender steak bites seared and tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce with zucchini for a quick, low-carb, and high-protein dinner ready in 15 minutes.

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

  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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
  6. Return the steak bites to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat with the garlic butter.
  7. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the steak is heated through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best searing, ensure steak bites are very dry before cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Butter can be substituted with ghee for a dairy-free option.
  • Zucchini can be swapped for other low-carb veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms.
