Ingredients

  • 400g steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank)
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the steak with salt, black pepper, and paprika, then drizzle with a little olive oil and let it rest.
  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  3. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
  4. In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil and sauté the zucchini with minced garlic until tender and slightly golden.
  5. Season the zucchini with salt, pepper, and soy sauce or balsamic vinegar.
  6. Prepare the bowl by adding a base of warm rice or quinoa.
  7. Top with sliced steak and sautéed zucchini.
  8. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, optional butter, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Let the steak rest before slicing to retain its juices.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Add roasted vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for variety.
  • Adjust seasoning or add chili flakes for extra heat.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet to avoid overcooking the steak.
