Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a shallow bowl, mix crushed pork rinds, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip zucchini sticks in beaten eggs, then coat in the pork rind mixture. Arrange on the baking sheet.

Bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.

Heat butter or tallow in a cast iron skillet over medium-high. Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Add steak to the pan and sear 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness and desired doneness). Add garlic and herbs during the last 2 minutes, spooning melted butter over the steak. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Plate steak with zucchini fries. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve with garlic aioli or ranch dip on the side.

Dips on either rings or bars.
