Oats Free Paleo Garlic Herb Steak Bites
Tender, golden-crusted steak bites tossed in garlicky herb ghee are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. The technique here is all about a screaming-hot cast iron skillet and avocado oil — that combination builds a deep, caramelized sear on every cube before the real magic happens in the pan. Once the heat drops, ghee melts into a fragrant bath of minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme that coats each bite in rich, savory flavor. A final hit of fresh lemon juice and scattered parsley keeps everything bright and balanced. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of grains and oats, so there's nothing to swap, substitute, or second-guess. It's a clean, straightforward cook that delivers steakhouse-level results right from your own stovetop.

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.
