1. Pull vegetable peeler lengthwise along zucchini to create thin ribbons, rotating zucchini after every 4 -6 ribbons to keep slices uniform. Set aside.
2. Pour water in shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs and 1/3 c. cheese in second shallow dish. Dip each beef steak into water, then into bread crumb mixture turning to coat both sides. 3. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat until hot. Place 2 steaks in skillet; cook 5-6 min. to medium (160°F) doneness, until not pink in center and juices show no pink color, turning once. Remove steaks; keep warm. Repeat with 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining steaks, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid over browning. 4. Carefully wipe out skillet with paper towels. Heat remaining 2 tsp. oil in skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add zucchini; cook and stir 1-2 min. or until just tender. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper, as desired. Toss with remaining 1/3 c. cheese; serve with steaks. * Cook's Tip: For best results, use the seedless portion of the zucchini for making ribbons. * Recipe Courtesy of The Beef Checkoff Nutritional information:
