The Best Steak Stir Fry with Zucchini Noodles

The best part is that once your steak is marinated, it takes no time to heat up your skillet and start cooking. You get hints of tangy paired with a little spice from the hot sauce. Soy sauce, hot sauce, lime juice, and olive oil are what make this marinade downright addictive.

The lime juice will help tenderize the meat and add a splash of freshness to the steak.

How to Make Steak Stir Fry With Zucchini Noodles

1. The first step is taking time to marinate your meat. Add the soy sauce, hot sauce, olive oil, and lime juice to a bag and toss your stripped steak. Allow to marinade for 3-6 hours.
2. Start by grabbing a heavy-duty pan, one that can handle the heat. Toss in your steak once it is done marinating and cook it until it is cooked through.
3. While your steak is cooking, you can spiralize your zucchini noodles and set aside.
4. Once the steak is cooked through, remove the steak, and then add in your butter and garlic and cook for around a minute.
5. Then, toss in your chicken broth, lemon juice and the zest, and cook till sauce thickens a bit.
6. Drop in zucchini noodles and cook for 1 minute. Then drop in steak, stir, and serve.
7. Add parsley and chili flakes on top if you want!

What is the Best Kind of Steak for A Stir Fry?

The best steak for a stir fry would be a flank or skirt steak. These cuts are nice and lean and have a nice marble effect throughout. They will give you a tender texture that carries the best flavor.
If you can’t find either of those, your other options are Ribeye, sirloin, or even top loin.

Cut Steak Evenly for Steak Stir Fry

One thing I need you to make sure of is that you slice your steak up yourself make sure you do your best to get even slices. As your steak cooks, it will cook evenly if all the meat is similar in size. If you have some pieces that are a lot larger than others, you could end up with overdone and underdone meat. So, do your best to slice evenly for the best results.

What If I Don’t Want to Use Zucchini Noodles For Steak Stir Fry?

If you are not a huge fan of zucchini, no problem! Swap out with cooked pasta or even other vegetables that you could sauté. Or skip it all and just do a straight steak stir fry and pile on top of rice!

This is such a versatile recipe and the flavors mix well with other ingredients. I have made it with regular pasta, and it is really tasty. I just love the zucchini noodles as it offers a low carb take to the stir-fried steak recipe.

What is the Best Steak Stir Fry?

I generally marinate the meat before I leave for work in the morning. Then when I get home, I prep my zucchini and start cooking. Within no time I have dinner on the table.
