Ingredients
 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 large zucchini spiralized
  • 12 oz top sirloin beef sliced against the grain into thin strips
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Lightly salt the zucchini and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to draw out the moisture. Then rinse and drain before cooking.
  • While zucchini is sitting, prepare the beef. Add beef to a medium bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Mix beef with cornstarch until beef is evenly coated. Add in garlic powder and soy sauce and mix. Set aside.
  • Add olive oil and 1/3 of the garlic to a large skillet and bring to medium high heat. When oil is heated, add in zucchini.
  • Cook zucchini a few minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain zucchini noodles thoroughly by placing them in a colander and shaking a few times. Set aside so that they can continue to drain. If desired, you can also pat dry the zucchini with a paper towel after they are done draining.
  • Add sesame oil and remaining garlic to your skillet. Bring skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Add in beef. Sear beef on both sides and cook until it is about 1-2 minutes away from being fully cooked.
  • Add zucchini noodles back in and stir and mix with the beef. Season with salt or more soy sauce as needed. Cook only about 1-2 minutes or until beef is fully cooked and zucchini is mixed in and warm. If you continue to cook too long your zucchini will get watery again.
  • Garnish beef and zucchini with sesame seeds. Allow beef and zucchini to cool before splitting into meal prep containers. Store in fridge or freezer.
