This garlic butter steaks and noodles is a 20-minute stir fry, no time at all to put together and minimum ingredients. It is really simple to put together you might already have all the ingredients on hand and you can use chicken if you don’t have steaks and use shrimps, you can use whatever you want really. Get your cast iron skillet nice and hot with a drizzle of olive oil. You will need some sliced sirloin steak, some zucchini which you are going to spiral eyes into zoodles, butter parsley garlic, lemon garlic pepper granulated garlic, olive oil, and salt.

Using a spiralizer, pierce the zucchini well in the center and then you just make the most delicious noodles ever. They are perfect every time and just work off on spiralizing and it’s going to take no second time at all. Now that we are looking for a crispy golden brown, don’t overcrowd the pan with the zucchini noodles because too much water will come out and that is not what you want.

With hot olive oil in the pan, add the zucchini noodles in the pan and season them really quickly with granulated garlic and a little bit of salt, just move them around and sautee them for like a minute. You don’t want to overdo them since it will get soggy and that is not fun. Once you are done in a few minutes, take them out of the pan and place them on a plate.

Drizzle more olive oil into the pan and place your cut butter steaks, we just want to caramelize and sort of get the meat to develop good color and not steam. Cook this for a minute or so because these are really small steaks and will cook up fast. Add garlic and butter to the steaks to give it a really delicious taste, add parsley, and a squeeze f lime.

This is the kind of meal that you can pull together with any kind of meat you want. Add the noodles back in and toss them together just to be hot enough and serve.
