Wheat Free Paleo Garlic Herb Steak Bites
Tender, golden-crusted steak bites tossed in a fragrant garlic-herb ghee — this is the kind of dish that feels indulgent but comes together with nothing more than a hot cast iron skillet and a handful of fresh ingredients. Every component here is naturally free of wheat and grains, so there's no swapping, substituting, or second-guessing required. The real magic happens when you sear the sirloin cubes over screaming-hot avocado oil, building that deep, caramelized crust before the ghee, garlic, rosemary, and thyme hit the pan and turn everything impossibly aromatic. Ghee is the secret weapon — it adds a rich, nutty depth that butter can't quite match and keeps the whole recipe clean and grain-free without sacrificing any flavor. A final hit of fresh lemon juice and parsley brightens everything up and keeps the dish from feeling heavy. Serve straight from the skillet with extra lemon wedges and watch them disappear fast.

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.
