Notes
Cooking the steak: Pat the steak dry with a paper towel before cutting it into bite-size pieces. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing the steak bites; cook in batches if needed to prevent steaming and ensure a golden crust.
Al dente zucchini: Cook zucchini slices until tender, but not mushy.
Thickening the sauce: The cornstarch will thicken the sauce quickly in the pan. Continue stirring as it cooks to prevent burning and sticking to the pan.
