Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 pound sirloin steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon butter (divided)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium zucchini, spiralized or diced
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
- Pat the steak cubes dry with a paper towel and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the seared steak from the skillet and set it aside.
