Ingredients
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 large zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces and cook until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden.
