# What You'll Need:

→ Steak Bites

01 - 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 1 teaspoon sea salt
03 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 4 garlic cloves, minced
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

→ Avocado Fries

08 - 2 large ripe avocados, sliced into 0.5-inch wedges
09 - 2 large eggs
10 - 1 cup almond flour
11 - 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 - 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
13 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
14 - 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
15 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
16 - Olive oil spray for baking

→ Zucchini Ribbons

17 - 2 medium zucchinis
18 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
19 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
20 - Sea salt and black pepper to taste

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a shallow bowl, beat eggs. In a separate shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
03 - Dip each avocado wedge into beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Arrange coated wedges on prepared baking sheet, lightly spray with olive oil, and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
04 - Pat steak cubes dry and season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned but still pink in the center. Transfer to a plate.
05 - Reduce skillet heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return seared steak bites to skillet and toss to coat evenly in garlic butter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
06 - Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, create thin ribbons from zucchinis. Toss ribbons with olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to taste.
07 - Arrange garlic butter steak bites on plates and serve with crispy avocado fries and zucchini ribbons on the side. Serve immediately while steak and fries are hot.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent and restaurant-quality but comes together faster than ordering takeout.
  • The crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside avocado fries are shockingly addictive and nothing like you'd expect.
  • Everything cooks at the same time if you plan it right, so you're not standing over the stove juggling three pans.
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd your skillet when searing the steak—if the pieces are touching each other, they'll steam instead of brown, and you'll miss out on that caramelized flavor.
  • Check your avocados the night before because they ripen faster than you'd think, and mushy avocados won't hold their shape in the oven no matter how thick your coating is.
03 -
  • Invest in a good meat thermometer if you want your steak bites medium-rare every single time—it takes the guessing out of doneness and means never drying them out.
  • Make your almond flour mixture the night before and store it in a sealed container so you're literally just coating and baking when you cook, which cuts your active time in half.
