# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a shallow bowl, beat eggs. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
03 - Dip each avocado wedge in beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in almond flour mixture. Place coated wedges on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray with olive oil.
04 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until golden and crispy.
05 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season evenly with sea salt and black pepper on all sides.
06 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer. Sear 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned while maintaining pink interior. Transfer to a clean plate.
07 - Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
08 - Return seared steak bites to skillet. Toss thoroughly in garlic butter sauce. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Keep warm until serving.
09 - Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, shave zucchinis into thin ribbons. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
10 - Arrange garlic butter steak bites in center of plate. Place avocado fries alongside. Top with zucchini ribbons. Serve immediately while steak remains hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and restaurant-quality while keeping you firmly in ketosis, which is the kind of magic that makes diets actually stick.
  • Everything cooks simultaneously in about 40 minutes, so you get a complete, elegant meal without spending your evening in the kitchen.
  • The combination of textures—crispy avocado, tender steak, silky ribbons—makes every bite interesting and satisfying.
02 -
  • Don't skip the drying step on your steak cubes—any surface moisture will prevent browning and you'll end up steaming them instead of searing them into something memorable.
  • The avocado fries will crisp more in those final two minutes of baking, so if you pull them out too early they'll be soft in the middle; trust the timer and rotate them halfway.
03 -
  • Make your almond flour mixture the night before and store it in an airtight container so your breading stations are ready to go the moment you start cooking.
  • If your steak cubes are very thick, you can gently press them down with your spatula during the first sear to maximize the browned surface area without pressing out all the juices.
