Instructions

Prepare the Steak Bites:
- Season the steak cubes generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak cubes in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Add the minced garlic and remaining 2 tbsp butter. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Set aside.
Make the Lemon Zucchini Noodles:
- In the same pan, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the spiralized zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
- Stir in the lemon juice and zest, season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Optional: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
Serve:
- Plate the lemon zucchini noodles and top with the garlic butter steak bites.
- Garnish with extra parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the steak in olive oil, garlic, and a dash of soy sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the cooking time based on the size of your steak cubes and preferred doneness.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the zucchini noodles for a bit of heat.
