Quick and flavorful garlic butter steak bites paired with tender zucchini, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak bites very dry with paper towels. Season evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add steak bites in a single layer. Sear 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if needed. Remove steak to a plate and set aside.
  4. Lower heat slightly and add the butter to the same skillet. When it melts, add the minced garlic and cook about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the zucchini to the skillet. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp and lightly browned.
  6. Return the steak bites to the skillet. Toss everything so the meat and zucchini are coated in the garlic butter.
  7. Cook 1 to 2 more minutes just to heat the steak through and marry the flavors.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if using and serve immediately.

Notes

Sirloin gives good value and chew, ribeye adds extra richness, and New York strip is a nice balance. If you prefer, use light olive oil or another neutral oil with a higher smoke point for searing. Swap zucchini for bell pepper or asparagus if you like.
