Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Steak
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound sirloin steak
Sauce
  • 35-40 oz / 1135 g vodka sauce
Noodles
  • 2-3 large zucchini (or regular pasta)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the butter in a large heavy-duty skillet over medium-low heat until lightly browned, taking care not to let it burn.
  2. Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces.
Cooking
  1. Increase the heat and add the steak pieces to the browned butter. Leave them undisturbed for about 1 minute to sear one side, then turn and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the outside is well browned.
  2. Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the steak to a bowl, and wipe away excess grease from the skillet with a paper towel.
  3. Add the vodka sauce to the skillet. Return the steak to the pan and simmer for 5-10 minutes while preparing the noodles.
Serving
  1. Spiralize or cut the zucchini into noodles, or cook regular pasta according to its instructions.
  2. Serve the noodles topped with the steak and sauce mixture, then finish with Parmesan and parsley.

Notes

The nutrition facts were calculated using a generic vodka sauce rather than the specific sauce brand, so values may vary. Zucchini noodles can release extra moisture when mixed with sauce, but serving them right away helps reduce this issue. Leftovers may become more watery; stir before serving or store the noodles and sauce separately.
