Hazelnut Free Paleo Garlic Herb Steak Bites
Juicy, seared steak bites tossed in a fragrant garlic-herb ghee — this is the kind of dish that makes a weeknight feel like a special occasion. The cast iron skillet does the heavy lifting here, building a deep, caramelized crust on each cube of sirloin before a quick finish in melted ghee with rosemary, thyme, and golden garlic. A bright hit of fresh lemon juice at the end cuts through the richness and ties everything together beautifully. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden allergens sneaking in through a sauce or marinade. Avocado oil and ghee keep things clean and paleo-friendly while delivering serious flavor without compromise. Serve these straight from the skillet with lemon wedges and you've got a crowd-pleasing plate that looks far more impressive than the effort required.

Heat the avocado oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Add the steak cubes in a single layer, working in two batches if needed to avoid crowding, and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes until a deep brown crust forms on the underside. Flip and sear for 1–2 minutes more, until the steak reaches 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer for medium. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
