Ingredients

For the Steak Bites:

• 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

For the Zucchini Noodles:

• 3 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Steak Bites:

1. Generously season the steak pieces with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned and cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
3. Stir in the chopped thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the steak is well-coated. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Zucchini Noodles:

1. In a separate large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until they are tender yet still slightly firm. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
3. Drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh, bright finish, if desired.

Serve:

1. Plate the zucchini noodles and top them with the garlic butter steak bites.
2. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if you like. Enjoy!
