Follow these cooking methods/directions:

  1. Pat steaks dry with paper towel; season each steak, on both sides, with ½ tsp (2 mL) of the herbes de Provence and salt and pepper.

  2. Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook steaks for 4 to 8 minutes, turning twice or more until steaks are cooked to medium (160°F/71°C) at the least. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm; set aside.

  3. Add zucchini, garlic, onion and remaining 1 tsp (5 mL) herbes de Provence to pan. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until onion starts to soften. Add tomatoes and continue to cook, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in feta and parsley (if using) and serve over steaks.
