Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Steak (sirloin or ribeye recommended; trimmed and cut into strips)
- 2 medium Zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Cooking Spray (Halal-friendly) For grilling
- Fresh Cilantro or Parsley, for garnish
- Desired toppings (sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, or feta cheese)
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Make sure your steak is trimmed and properly cut into thin strips.
- In a bowl, combine the steak with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
Grilling
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Add cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the zucchini slices on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender and have beautiful grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- In the same grill or pan, add more cooking spray if needed. Grill the marinated steak strips for approximately 5-7 minutes or until they are well-cooked, flipping them halfway through.
Assembly
- In a bowl, layer the grilled zucchini and steak. Add your choice of toppings, such as avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, or crumbled feta cheese for an extra creamy kick.
- Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley. Your cozy meal is ready to be served!
Notes
For substitutions, try using grilled chicken or tofu instead of steak for a Halal-friendly alternative. Letting the steak marinate enhances flavor, but don’t exceed 30 minutes. Avoid crowding the grill for even cooking and juiciness.
