Healthy Grilled Steak Bowl with Zucchini Easy Keto Dinner Recipe

  • Author: Nora Winslow
  • Total Time: 31 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

A quick and flavorful keto-friendly grilled steak bowl featuring juicy steak and tender grilled zucchini, perfect for a low-carb, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ribeye or sirloin steak, about 1-inch thick
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds (about ½ inch thick)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until very hot.
  2. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mix all over the steak. Let it sit at room temperature while prepping zucchini.
  3. Slice zucchini into thick rounds (about ½ inch). Toss in a bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Place zucchini slices on the grill or grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until tender with grill marks. Remove and set aside.
  5. Place the steak on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving it to build a crust. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare (130°F/54°C). Adjust time for thickness.
  6. Remove steak from grill and let rest on a cutting board loosely covered with foil for 5 minutes to lock in juices.
  7. Slice the steak thinly against the grain. In serving bowls, layer grilled zucchini and steak slices. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Notes

Patting the steak dry before seasoning is key for a good crust. Use a hot grill to avoid gray steak. Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy. Flip steak only once. Give zucchini slices space on the grill to char evenly. Prep all ingredients before heating the grill. Use fresh garlic on zucchini for best flavor. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet to avoid drying out.
