Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 3 medium zucchini, spiralized

Instructions:

  1. Pat the sirloin cubes completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. Note: Wet meat will steam, not sear.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add steak in a single layer, searing undisturbed for 2 minutes until a dark brown crust forms.
  4. Toss the cubes and sear for another 2 minutes until browned on all sides.
  5. Transfer steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Note: This lets them rest while we finish the sauce.
  6. Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the butter.
  7. Once foaming, stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.
  8. Push the garlic butter to the edges of the pan and add the zucchini noodles.
  9. Toss in the butter for 2-3 minutes until tender crisp.
  10. Return the steak and any accumulated juices to the pan. Toss everything together for 60 seconds to glaze and garnish with fresh parsley.
