INGREDIENTS
- 2 zucchinis (sliced thinly)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 1/2 lbs top sirloin steaks
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp melted butter (for parmesan mixture)
- 2 tbsp butter (for cooking steak)
- 1/4 tbsp salt & pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Remove steak from the fridge and allow to sit at room temperature as you prep the zucchini. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 425.
- Put zucchini slices in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together oil, melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Pour the mixture over the zucchini and mix thoroughly.
- In another bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs for the zucchini. Pour that mixture over zucchini and mix thoroughly, ensuring that all pieces are coated.
- Add zucchini slices to a baking sheet in a single layer and place in the oven on the top rack. Bake for about 15 minutes (see note below about coordinating zucchini and steak times).
- Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tbsp butter.
- Mix together the parsley, thyme, garlic, panko breadcrumbs, and grated parmesan cheese. Then, add 3 tbsp melted butter and stir the mixture together.
- Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until seared. Top the steak with breadcrumb and parmesan mixture until the top is covered thoroughly.
- Turn the oven down to 400 degrees and place steak in the oven on a baking sheet (if you’re using a cast-iron skillet, you can stick it right in the oven).
- Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes. The zucchini should be golden brown and fully tender. The steak should reach an internal temperature of 135 degrees for medium-rare and the parmesan mixture will turn golden-brown.
- Allow steak to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
