Courtesy of The Beef Checkoff 4 Servings • 25 Min. Prep Time • 15 Min. Cook TimeIngredients |
---|
4 beef cubed steaks (about 4 oz. each) |
3 medium zucchini |
1/3 c. water |
2/3 c. seasoned dry bread crumbs |
2/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese, divided |
2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. vegetable oil, divided |
Directions:
1. Pull vegetable peeler lengthwise along zucchini to create thin ribbons, rotating zucchini after every 4 -6 ribbons to keep slices uniform. Set aside.
2. Pour water in shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs and 1/3 c. cheese in second shallow dish. Dip each beef steak into water, then into bread crumb mixture turning to coat both sides.
3. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat until hot. Place 2 steaks in skillet; cook 5-6 min. to medium (160°F) doneness, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning once. Remove steaks; keep warm. Repeat with 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining steaks, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid over browning.
4. Carefully wipe out skillet with paper towels. Heat remaining 2 tsp. oil in skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add zucchini; cook and stir 1-2 min. or until just tender. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper, as desired. Toss with remaining 1/3 c. cheese; serve with steaks.
* Cook's Tip: For best results, use the seedless portion of the zucchini for making ribbons.
