Main Ingredients:
4 lean beef cubed steaks
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 tsp. olive oil
2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 tsp. Parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
- Combine garlic, basil and pepper; divide mixture in half. Press half of seasoning mixture evenly into both sides of beef steak; reserve. Heat oil and remaining seasoning mixture in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook and stir 1 minute. Remove vegetables to platter; sprinkle with cheese and keep warm. Increase heat to medium-high. Place 2 steaks in same skillet; cook 3 to 4 minutes, turning once. Repeat with remaining 2 steaks. Season steaks with salt if desired, serve with warm vegetables. Makes 4 servings.
Recipe Tips:
- It's easy to coat the steaks with seasoning, simply sprinkle seasonings on a plate and roll steaks in seasonings to cover. For more Italian flavor, marinate steaks in Italian dressing for 20 minutes before coating with seasonings.
- For more variety, stir-fry other vegetables like carrots, eggplant and yellow squash with the zucchini.
- Serve with garlic bread or cheese bread and a spinach salad with vine-ripened tomatoes.
