Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Zucchini Noodles



Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need for this recipe:

For the steak:

  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

For the zucchini noodles:

  • 2–3 medium zucchini, spiralized
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Steak

Start by cutting your sirloin steak into small cubes. Try to make them equal in size so they cook evenly. Pat them dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 2: Sear the Steak Bites

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd the pan—work in batches if needed. Sear the steak for about 2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Then return the steak bites to the pan and toss to coat them in the garlic butter. Cook for another 1–2 minutes. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 4: Cook the Zucchini Noodles

In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spiralized zucchini and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Sauté for about 3–4 minutes, just until tender. Don’t overcook them or they’ll get soggy.

Step 5: Serve

Plate the zucchini noodles and top them with the juicy garlic butter steak bites. Spoon any extra sauce from the pan over the top.

Tips for Success

  • Use a good cut of steak: Sirloin works well, but you can also use ribeye or tenderloin.
  • Don’t overcook the steak: Cook just until browned for juicy, tender bites.
  • Zucchini noodles release water: After cooking, you can blot them with a paper towel to reduce moisture before serving.
