Paleo Smoky Bacon Garlic Herb Steak Bites
These bacon-wrapped sirloin bites are the kind of dish that makes a cast iron skillet feel like the most important piece of equipment you own. Each cube of steak gets a smoky spice rub before being wrapped in bacon and seared until the outside is deeply caramelized and the inside hits a perfect medium. The real magic happens after the sear — minced garlic blooms in all that rendered bacon fat, then coconut aminos, rosemary, and thyme go in to build a glossy, savory sauce that coats every single bite. Coconut aminos do the heavy lifting here in place of soy sauce, keeping things grain-free and legume-free without sacrificing any of that umami depth. Fresh parsley scattered over the top at the end adds a bright, herby finish that cuts right through the richness. The whole recipe is built from whole-food ingredients — quality meat, real herbs, and avocado oil — so there's nothing to second-guess or swap out. This one serves four, and honestly, you might want to double it.

Wrap each steak cube with a piece of bacon, pressing the bacon firmly against the meat so it adheres. If the bacon is long, fold it to fit snugly around the cube rather than overlapping multiple times.
