Embark on a tantalizing keto journey with our Garlic Butter Steak Bites paired with Lemony Zucchini Noodles. This recipe celebrates the fusion of tender steak coated in aromatic garlic butter and vibrant lemon-infused zoodles. Here’s your ticket to keto culinary bliss!

Ingredients Needed:

Steak: Take your pick of preferred steak cut. While we chose beef tenderloin, ribeye or top sirloin work splendidly too!

Olive Oil: Kickstart the cooking process with a drizzle of olive oil for that initial sear. Its high smoke point ensures optimal cooking temperatures.

Butter: Indulge in the richness of unsalted butter, a quintessential ingredient in this dish, allowing for nuanced flavor control.

Shallots: Diced shallots contribute depth to the dish, although any onion variation is equally welcome.

Fresh Garlic: Sliced or minced, garlic adds robust flavor to the steak bites, enhancing every savory bite.

Dry Seasonings: Customize your seasoning blend with cracked black pepper and optional red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Kosher Salt: Opt for Diamond kosher salt for its superior texture and gradual seasoning prowess.

Beef Broth: Elevate the flavor profile with beef bone broth or traditional beef stock.

Lemon Juice & Zest: The zest and juice of fresh lemons infuse the dish with vibrant citrus notes.

Zucchini: Spiralized zucchini noodles offer a low-carb alternative to pasta, complementing the steak bites perfectly.

Fresh Basil: While optional, basil ribbons lend a refreshing herbaceous touch to the zucchini noodles.

Parmesan Cheese, Lemon Slices: For garnish, along with additional basil, black pepper, and flakey sea salt for that finishing touch.

How To Make:

Sear the Steak: Heat a large skillet over high heat. Season steak bites generously with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Add olive oil to the skillet and sear the steak bites until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.

Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté shallots and garlic until fragrant. Stir in beef broth, lemon zest, and juice.

Add Zucchini Noodles: Introduce zucchini noodles and basil ribbons to the skillet, stirring constantly until warmed through.

Combine and Garnish: Reintroduce the steak bites to the skillet, warming them alongside the noodles. Garnish with lemon slices, cracked pepper, sea salt, parmesan cheese, and basil.

Tips for Perfection

Allow steak to reach room temperature before cooking.

Drain excess water from zucchini noodles to prevent sogginess.

Add zoodles towards the end of cooking to maintain texture.

For meal prep, store steak and zoodles separately and reheat gently before serving.
