Directions

I cook the steak for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and desired doneness.

I transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

I melt butter in the skillet and sauté the onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and carrots until tender.

I stir in garlic and soy sauce and cook for another minute.

Variations

I sometimes substitute chicken, shrimp, or tofu for the steak.

I like adding broccoli, snap peas, or bell peppers for more vegetables.

I occasionally use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a different base.

I enjoy topping the bowls with spicy mayo for extra heat and flavor.

I can add a fried egg on top for a heartier meal.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

I keep the sauce separate whenever possible to maintain the best texture.

I reheat the steak, rice, and vegetables in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

I can also reheat individual portions in the microwave in 30-second intervals.

I do not recommend freezing the vegetables because they may become soft after thawing.
