25 min4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 zucchinis, cubed
  • Optional: roasted grape tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients: Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes, cube the zucchinis, and if using, roast the grape tomatoes separately or set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Cook Steak: Add the sirloin steak cubes to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides but not fully cooked through. Remove steak and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sauté Zucchini: In the same skillet, add the cubed zucchini and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until zucchini starts to soften and develop some color.

  5. 5

    Add Garlic and Butter: Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in the minced garlic and 1 stick of unsalted butter. Let the butter melt completely, stirring to evenly coat the zucchini.

  6. 6

    Combine Steak and Zucchini: Return the cooked steak pieces to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat in the garlic butter. Cook another 2-3 minutes until the steak is cooked to desired doneness and flavors meld.

  7. 7

    Finish and Serve: Optionally add roasted grape tomatoes for extra sweetness and serve hot. Enjoy as a main dish or appetizer.
