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.
These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers. The adaptations have not been kitchen-tested. Nutrition provenance and source limitations are listed with each recipe; missing nutrition stays unreported.

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 soy sauce, marinade olive oil, hot sauce, pepper and marinade lemon juice. Coat steak cubes and marinate at least 15–20 minutes.
- Step 2
Heat cooking olive oil over high heat. Drain steak and retain marinade. Sear cubes in a single layer 3–4 minutes, stirring; work in batches.
- Step 3
Add two-thirds of the butter and garlic, tossing 1–2 minutes. Remove steak to a plate.
- Step 4
Add remaining butter, sauce lemon juice, optional flakes, broth and reserved marinade. Bring the marinade to a full boil before reducing for 2–3 minutes.
- Step 5
Add zucchini noodles for 2–3 minutes. Stir in parsley and thyme; reduce watery juices another minute if needed. Return steak and warm 1 minute before serving.
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
- US 1 1/4 lb steak is inconsistent with source 450 g; US weight retained.
- Marination is additional to declared 25-minute prep/cook total.
- Source instructs simmering reused raw marinade; this adaptation requires a full boil before reduction, without inventing a duration.
- A pack of zucchini noodles is an unquantified alternative to four medium zucchini.
- The publisher gives no measured amount for: 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.
