Tutor's tips
- •Use sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip for tender steak bites, and avoid overcrowding the pan so the beef browns instead of steaming.
- •Salt and blot the zucchini noodles before cooking to prevent a watery sauce and keep the final dish firmly keto-friendly and skillet-fresh.
- •For a milder finish, use feta instead of blue cheese, or add extra lemon juice if you want more brightness against the garlic butter.
