Ingredients
1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak
2 medium zucchini, sliced
2 cups cooked rice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley or basil (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Rub steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Slice zucchini lengthwise and toss in olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Grill zucchini slices on medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until charred and tender.
4. Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan and sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until your desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.
5. In a small saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and simmer. Stir in Parmesan until melted and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
6. Assemble bowls by layering cooked rice, grilled zucchini, and sliced steak. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with parsley or basil.
Notes
Resting the steak after grilling helps lock in juices for maximum tenderness.
If the sauce thickens too much while cooling, add a splash of cream to loosen before serving.
For a smoky twist, try grilling the steak over charcoal instead of pan-searing.
