  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• For the Zucchini Noodles:
  • 2 large zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steak Bites:
   • Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper.
   • Add the steak bites to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are browned and cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
   • Add the minced garlic and herbs (if using), cook for another 1-2 minutes, and remove from heat.
2. Make the Zucchini Noodles:
   • While the steak is cooking, heat another tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a separate skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the zucchini noodles, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • In the same skillet you used to cook the steak, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. If using, add lemon juice for a fresh, zesty flavor.
   • Toss the cooked steak bites in the garlic butter sauce and mix to coat.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the garlic butter steak bites over the zucchini noodles, drizzling with any extra garlic butter sauce from the skillet.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
