These steak bites are seared to perfection and coated in a luscious garlic butter sauce. The stir-fried zucchini adds a vibrant touch, making this dish not only flavorful but also visually appealing. Each bite is a delightful combination of tender meat and buttery goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Season the Steak: In a bowl, toss the steak pieces with salt and pepper, making sure they are well coated.
- Sear the Steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the steak bites in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic butter, adding thyme or rosemary if using.
- Stir-Fry the Zucchini: In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Serve: Plate the garlic butter steak bites alongside the stir-fried zucchini. Enjoy this flavorful and satisfying meal!
