Ingredients
1.5 lbs Sirloin Steak or Ribeye
3 large Zucchini
4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
5 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
0.5 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
To taste Salt
To taste Black Pepper
Instructions
- Pat the steak cubes dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and black pepper
- Spiralize the zucchini into noodles. Salt the zoodles and let them sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering
- Add steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and sear for 2 minutes per side until golden-brown. Remove steak and set aside
- Lower heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, sauté minced garlic and red pepper flakes for 1 minute
- Add zucchini noodles to the pan and toss in the garlic butter for 2 to 3 minutes until tender-crisp
- Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss for 1 minute to warm through and coat in sauce
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately
Notes
Grass-fed butter is preferred for the best keto nutritional profile.
To prevent watery zoodles, do not skip the salting and squeezing step.
Let the steak reach room temperature before cooking to ensure even searing.
If the pan is crowded, the steak will steam instead of crusting; sear in batches if needed.
Leftovers can be stored for up to three days, but reheat in a skillet rather than a microwave to maintain texture.
