Ingredients
1 lb sirloin or flank steak, sliced against the grain
2 tbsp olive oil
2–3 medium zucchinis, sliced or spiralized
1 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Sesame seeds for garnish
Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and slice it thinly against the grain.
2. Place the steak in a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Let the steak marinate for about 15–30 minutes for better flavor.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Add the steak in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
6. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside to rest.
7. In the same skillet add a small amount of olive oil if needed.
8. Add sliced zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms.
9. Sauté the vegetables for 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
10. Season the vegetables lightly with salt and pepper.
11. In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
12. Return the steak to the skillet briefly to warm through.
13. Divide the cooked zucchini and vegetables among serving bowls.
14. Top each bowl with the cooked steak.
15. Drizzle the sauce over the steak and vegetables.
16. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds.
17. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Do not overcook zucchini to keep it tender-crisp instead of mushy.
Flank steak, sirloin, or skirt steak work best because they cook quickly.
For extra bulk add cauliflower rice or quinoa to the bowl.
If meal prepping store steak and vegetables separately for best texture.
Add avocado slices or spicy mayo for a richer flavor variation.
