Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini Noodles.
Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles using a spiralizer. If you don’t have one, use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Steak.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the steak in a single layer.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the lemon juice and zest, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for a minute.

Step 4: Add Zucchini Noodles.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss them in the lemon garlic butter sauce for about 2-3 minutes until just tender but still al dente.

Step 5: Combine and Serve.

Return the cooked steak to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat in the sauce.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

This 15-Minute Lemon Garlic Butter Steak with Zucchini Noodles is a quick, delicious meal that brings together the rich flavors of steak and the freshness of zucchini. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish is not only easy to prepare but also a healthy option that doesn’t compromise on taste. Enjoy a delightful dinner in just 15 minutes!
