Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:25 minutes
Total Time:40 minutes

Equipment

  • 12-inch skillet with a lid

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 ½ pounds smoked pork sausage sliced about ⅓ of an inch thick, the same thickness as the zucchini and squash.
  • 1 pound baby potatoes sliced lengthwise then cut in thirds
  • ½ teaspoon coarsely ground pepper divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 ½ zucchini sliced in half rounds (about 2 ½ cups)
  • 1 yellow summer squash sliced in half rounds (about 2 cups)
  • 1 red pepper cut into one-inch pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Cook potatoes. Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet and add the potatoes so they are in one layer lying flat. Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes, turning halfway through. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and stir. Set aside on a plate.
  • Cook sausage. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the sliced sausage into the pan in one layer. Cook for 3 minutes, turn and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer the sausage to a plate.
  • Cook veggies. Turn the heat to medium-high and add zucchini, squash, and pepper. Stir in ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir-fry vegetables for 7-8 minutes or until crisp and tender. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and garlic in the last minute or two of cooking.
  • Assemble. Add the potatoes and sausage back into the pan. Add steak seasoning and mix well in the pan. Taste and add additional steak seasoning or salt if desired.
  • Garnish and serve. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
