Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- juice from 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- steak (sirloin or ribeye)

- fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro)
Instructions
- Combine ¼ cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, juice from one lemon, and minced garlic in a bowl and stir until mixed well.
- Place the steak into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak.
- Seal or cover the steak tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade.
- Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness.
- Slice the zucchini into half-moons while the steak is grilling.

- Sauté the zucchini until tender but still slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Let the steak rest for about five minutes before slicing.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover grilled steak and sautéed zucchini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, keep the steak and zucchini separate to maintain their textures.
Reheating: To reheat, warm the steak in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until just heated through, or use the microwave in short intervals. Reheat the zucchini in a skillet to preserve its crispness, adding a splash of olive oil if needed.
Serving: Serve the grilled steak sliced over a bed of sautéed zucchini, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. For added flavor, drizzle with a little extra olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
Chef’s Tip: For more intense flavor, marinate the steak for several hours or overnight. This allows the marinade to fully penetrate the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
