## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Step 1.** Mix marinade soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil and hot sauce; coat steak strips and refrigerate 30–60 minutes. Spiralize zucchini while it rests.

2. **Step 2.** Heat cooking olive oil over medium-high. Drain steak, reserving marinade, and season with salt and pepper. Sear in one layer 1 minute without stirring. Add garlic and turn for another 1–2 minutes; set aside.

3. **Step 3.** Add butter, whole-lemon juice and zest, chili flakes, broth and reserved marinade. Bring marinade to a full boil before reducing 2–3 minutes.

4. **Step 4.** Add parsley and zucchini noodles; toss 2–3 minutes. Reduce watery juices another minute if needed, return steak and warm 1 minute. Serve immediately.

## Attention timeline

Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate.

## Flavor and capacity

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided

Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.

Known allergens for these plates: milk, soy, wheat. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- Marination 30–60 minutes is excluded from declared 25-minute total and the 15-minute title.

- Source metric steak amount conflicts with US quantity; US retained.

- Reused raw marinade is brought to a full boil in this adaptation; source specifies only simmer.

- The publisher gives no measured amount for: Salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.

- The publisher’s headline time does not cover every step in the method; no complete elapsed-time estimate is reported.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
