Stuffed Zucchini
Description
These stuffed zucchini boats are a comforting, hearty dish that transforms simple ingredients into a restaurant-quality meal. The tender zucchini cups are filled with a rich mixture of sliced sirloin steak, earthy mushrooms, and sweet onions, all bound together by a velvety sour cream and dry mustard sauce. The dish offers a perfect balance of textures, from the soft vegetable skins to the savory meat and creamy sauce. It is an excellent choice for a family dinner or a light lunch when served over rice or noodles. The flavors are robust yet approachable, making it a versatile option for weeknight cooking.Ingredients
Directions
-
Heat vegetable oil in a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole or deep dish. Add the sliced sirloin steak strips and toss to coat with oil.
-
Cover and microwave on high until the beef is no longer pink, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the casserole and set aside, reserving any juices in the dish.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms and onions to the reserved meat juices in the casserole. Cover and microwave until the vegetables are tender, about 5 to 6 minutes.
-
In a small jar or cup, shake together the water and flour until well combined. Stir this mixture into the mushroom and onion mixture.
-
Sprinkle the dry mustard, salt, and pepper over the vegetable mixture. Microwave uncovered until boiling, about 30 seconds. Continue to microwave until the sauce thickens, approximately 1 minute.
-
Stir in the reserved cooked beef. Gently fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
-
Microwave uncovered until the filling is hot and bubbly, about 1 minute. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice or noodles, or spoon into prepared zucchini boats if desired.
