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

→ Zucchini Ribbons

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

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a shallow bowl, beat eggs. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until seasoning is evenly distributed.
03 - Dip each avocado wedge into the beaten egg, then dredge in the almond flour mixture until fully coated. Place coated wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray with olive oil.
04 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, turning wedges halfway through cooking, until golden and crispy.
05 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels 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 retaining a pink center. Remove steak and set aside.
06 - Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add unsalted butter and allow it to melt. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
07 - Return seared steak bites to the skillet with garlic butter. Toss until evenly coated. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
08 - Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, shave zucchinis into thin ribbons. Transfer to a bowl and toss with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
09 - Arrange steak bites on plates and serve immediately alongside avocado fries and zucchini ribbons.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like restaurant-quality indulgence without any of the guilt or complicated macros to calculate.
  • Everything cooks in under 40 minutes, which means you can have dinner on the table faster than you'd think.
  • The three components give you textural variety: tender steak, crispy avocado, and silky zucchini in one bowl.
02 -
  • Don't skip drying the steak cubes completely because any moisture on the surface prevents browning and steam-cooks the meat instead of searing it.
  • The avocados must be ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape when you coat and bake them; overripe ones collapse into mush.
03 -
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes to the garlic butter if you want heat, or finish the plate with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  • If anyone at your table has a tree nut allergy, swap the almond flour for crushed pork rinds and it works just as well, maybe even better for crispness.
