Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 500 grams beef (sirloin or flank steak)
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 250 milliliters beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 bunch fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into noodles (zoodles). Set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cut the beef into thin strips and sauté in the skillet until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Slice the onion, bell pepper, and carrot into thin strips. Mince the garlic.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.

Step 6

Add the bell pepper and carrot to the skillet and continue to stir fry for about 5 minutes until they are slightly tender.

Step 7

Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, and soy sauce.

Step 8

Sprinkle the mixture with cumin, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.

Step 9

Meanwhile, in another skillet, quickly stir fry the zoodles in a splash of olive oil for 2-3 minutes just to warm them without losing crunch.

Step 10

Serve the beef and vegetable mixture over the zoodles and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
