Ingredients

Scale

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Add the steak bites in a single layer to the skillet. Sear without moving for 2-3 minutes until browned on one side.
Flip the steak bites and cook for another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Remove steak from skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the zucchini slices to the skillet, season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
Return the steak bites to the skillet with the zucchini. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir to coat everything in the garlic butter sauce.
Cook together for 1-2 minutes until the butter is melted and the steak is heated through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
