Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), sliced into thin strips
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small zucchini, sliced

- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
