# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a shallow bowl, beat eggs. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
03 - Dip each avocado wedge in beaten egg, then coat completely in almond flour mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray with olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
04 - While avocado fries bake, pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper on all sides.
05 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steak cubes in a single layer without crowding. Sear 1-2 minutes per side until browned externally while maintaining pink interior. Remove with tongs and set aside.
06 - Reduce heat to medium. Add unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return seared steak bites to skillet, toss to coat evenly in garlic butter sauce. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
07 - Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, shave zucchinis into thin ribbons. Transfer to a bowl and toss with olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to taste.
08 - Arrange garlic butter steak bites in center of serving plate. Place avocado fries alongside. Top or surround with zucchini ribbons. Serve immediately while hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes restaurant-quality but comes together in 40 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a Tuesday without stress.
  • The contrast of crispy avocado fries, tender steak, and fresh zucchini ribbons makes your plate look intentional, not like you're just eating keto.
  • Zero regret food that leaves you satisfied and energized instead of sluggish.
02 -
  • Don't let avocado fries cool on the baking sheet; they'll stick and crack when you try to move them, so transfer them to a wire rack the moment they come out of the oven.
  • If your steak cubes are different sizes, cut them intentionally larger or smaller based on thickness so they all cook at the same rate and no piece ends up overdone.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to hit that perfect medium-rare; steak cubes cook fast and the difference between perfect and overcooked is literally 30 seconds.
  • Make extra zucchini ribbons because they're almost better cold as a snack, and your future self will thank you for the foresight.
