Print Recipe

A quick and easy dinner recipe featuring tender steak bites and sautéed zucchini in a luscious garlic butter sauce, ready in about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/2-inch thick half-moons
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut 1 pound of steak into 1-inch cubes. Slice 2 medium zucchinis into 1/2-inch thick half-moons. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season both steak and zucchini generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  2. Place a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Let it melt and get hot but not smoking.
  3. Add the steak cubes in a single layer, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms. Remove steak to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
  4. In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Stir quickly to avoid burning garlic, then add zucchini slices. Cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender and lightly caramelized.
  5. Return steak bites to the pan with zucchini. Toss gently to coat everything in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through and blend flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Pat steak dry before seasoning to get a good sear. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure browning. Add garlic after butter melts and zucchini is ready to prevent burning. Rest steak bites under foil while cooking zucchini to keep juices locked in. Use tongs to turn steak gently to avoid breaking pieces.
