Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 medium zucchinis chopped into half-moons
- 4 cloves garlic minced
Garlic Butter Sauce & Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Pat the steak cubes completely dry with paper towels and season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove the steak and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium-high. Add the chopped zucchini to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Reduce the heat to low. Melt the unsalted butter in the skillet, add the minced garlic, and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the steak bites to the skillet. Toss everything together in the garlic butter sauce until warmed through, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
