Pistachio Free Paleo Garlic Herb Steak Bites
Sizzling steak bites tossed in garlicky herb ghee are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels way more impressive than the effort involved. A screaming-hot cast iron skillet is the secret here — it builds that deep, caramelized crust on each cube of sirloin before the real magic happens in the pan. Once the steak rests, a quick sauce of ghee, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme comes together in under a minute, coating every bite in something seriously fragrant and rich. A final hit of fresh lemon juice and scattered parsley cuts right through the richness and keeps things bright. The whole ingredient list is clean and straightforward — sirloin, avocado oil, ghee, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon — so there's zero guesswork about what's going into the pan. No sauces with mystery additives, no spice blends with hidden fillers, just real food cooked simply and well. Whether you're eating paleo or just trying to keep things uncomplicated, this one delivers bold flavor without any of the usual compromise.

- 2
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.
