Tips
Do not overcook your veggies. Just saute until crisp tender so you do not end up with mushy zucchini! 🙂
I personally prefer flank steak for this recipe. But I have also sliced round steak SUPER thin as well for a more budget friendly meal!
Variations
- Pasta - feel free to change the name to spaghetti or thin spaghetti instead of linguini! HAHA!
- Spicy - for more heat increase the red pepper flakes in this recipe to ¼ teaspoon and add a bit more pepper to the beef
Sides
If I have enough veggies in this dish I just serve with a slice of bread. French bread or Sourdough toasted with garlic butter is perfect! Or add a side salad to round out the meal. Everyone will be full when dinner is over.
