You can also cook your entire steak at the desired cooking time, let it sit for a few minutes, then cut into strips.
Zucchini tends to produce a lot of water when cooking. So you can sprinkle with salt after cutting and let stand for a few minutes to remove excess water. Rinse thoroughly to remove salt and drain well in colander before cooking.
Zucchini contains no fat and is rich in water and fiber. It also contains significant amounts of B6 vitamins, riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin C and vitamin K, as well as minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium.
