03 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

10 - 1 cup almond flour
11 - 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 - 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
13 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
14 - 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

16 - Olive oil spray for baking

→ Zucchini Ribbons

17 - 2 medium zucchinis
18 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
19 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
20 - Salt and pepper to taste

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a shallow bowl, beat eggs. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Dip each avocado wedge into beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in almond flour mixture. Arrange coated wedges on prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
04 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until golden and crispy.
05 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with sea salt and black pepper on all sides.
06 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer and sear 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned with a pink interior. Remove with tongs and set aside.
07 - Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
08 - Return seared steak bites to the skillet, toss to coat in garlic butter sauce, and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
09 - Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, shave zucchinis into thin ribbons. Toss ribbons with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
10 - Arrange garlic butter steak bites on plate with avocado fries and zucchini ribbons on the side. Serve immediately while steak is hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The steak stays impossibly tender because you're not overcooking it, and that garlic butter hits different when it's pooling on your plate.
  • Avocado fries are crispy on the outside and creamy inside, like you accidentally discovered something genius.
  • The whole thing takes 40 minutes but tastes like you spent hours, and honestly, your guests will assume you did.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the skillet when you sear steak—too many pieces at once lowers the temperature and you'll steam meat instead of browning it, which changes the entire texture and flavor from restaurant-quality to forgettable.
  • Avocado fries are best served immediately after coming out of the oven; they stay crispy for maybe 10 minutes, so time this so they land on plates while they're still crunchy.
  • The steak continues cooking slightly after you remove it from heat, so pull it off the skillet when it's still slightly pink inside, not gray—trust this even if it feels too rare at first.
03 -
  • If you want to add extra flavor without extra carbs, finish the garlic butter with a tiny pinch of red chili flakes or a splash of balsamic vinegar—both amp up the richness without changing the macros.
  • Avocado fries can be made ahead and reheated in a 350°F oven for 3 to 5 minutes, though they're honestly at their best straight from the first bake with no reheating needed.
