  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • Add olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, place the steak bites in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes and don’t forget to stir. Add butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minutes or until the butter is totally melted and the garlic is cooked.
  • Add zucchini and cook for more 3 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
  • Remove potatoes from the oven and add to the beef and zucchini skillet. Mix everything well and garnish with fresh thyme.
