Cook beef to your preferred doneness and let steaks or larger cuts rest before serving.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line or lightly grease the pan you plan to use.
  2. 1. Heat your grill to medium temperature and slice zucchini lengthwise into planks no thicker than 1/4 inch using a mandolin.
  3. 2. Grill the zucchini planks for 3 to 5 minutes per side until tender and much of their moisture has cooked off, then set aside to cool.
  4. 3. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes, breaking it into crumbles, then season with 3/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes before stirring in the crushed tomatoes.
  5. 4. Combine ricotta, parmesan, basil, egg, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  6. 5. Heat oven to 350F and oil a 9x13 inch baking dish, then build three identical layers starting with zucchini, ricotta mixture, meat sauce, and a portion of mozzarella, reserving some cheese for the top.
  7. Cook beef to your preferred doneness and let steaks or larger cuts rest before serving.
  8. 6. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until bubbling throughout, then rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
