Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.
The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.
Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

Before you start
- Stovetop
- Pans
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.
Cook
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
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.
Listed allergens: milk, soy, wheat. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- 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.
