Juicy, golden-crusted steak bites tossed in a fragrant garlic-herb ghee — this is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels way more impressive than the effort it takes. The cast iron sear is the real hero here, building a deep, caramelized crust on each cube of sirloin before a quick bath in melted ghee with rosemary, thyme, and garlic finishes the job. 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 of rye and any grain-based fillers, so there's no label-squinting or substitution gymnastics required. Ghee replaces butter without sacrificing any of that nutty, savory depth, and avocado oil handles the high-heat sear like a champ. Serve straight from the skillet with extra lemon wedges and maybe a simple green salad, and dinner is done in the most satisfying way possible.

Pat the steak cubes thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season all over with the salt and black pepper.
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.
