Ingredients
Steak
- 2 pounds steak (flank, skirt, or sirloin), sliced into ½ inch pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced

Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Slice the steak into ½ inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking and easy searing.
- Heat the skillet: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet and warm it over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add ingredients to skillet: Once the oil is hot, add the sliced steak along with the zucchini, red onion, bell pepper, and summer squash to the skillet.
- Cook and season: Sauté the steak and vegetables for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow searing while ensuring even cooking. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper according to taste.
- Finish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat once the steak is cooked to your preferred temperature and the vegetables are tender. Serve immediately for a fresh, vibrant meal.
Notes
- For best results, use a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan to ensure good searing.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preferred steak doneness (shorter for rare, longer for well-done).
- You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a different flavor profile.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve with a side of rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
