1. Garlic Butter Ribeye With Charred Broccoli That Melts In Your Mouth

This is the steakhouse dinner you actually make on a Tuesday. The sizzling garlic butter coats juicy ribeye while the broccoli picks up all those drippings. It’s simple, indulgent, and completely keto-friendly.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ribeye steak, 1–1.5 inches thick
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions:

1. Pat steak dry and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Let it sit at room temp for 15 minutes.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil. Toss in broccoli with a pinch of salt and cook 5–6 minutes until charred and crisp-tender. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add remaining olive oil. Sear ribeye 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness. Reduce heat to medium for the last minute.
4. Add remaining butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the pan. Tilt and spoon butter over steak for 1–2 minutes.
5. Return broccoli to the pan. Splash with lemon juice and toss everything in the garlic butter.
6. Rest steak 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.

Shower with parsley and serve right from the pan. Want it richer? Add a pat of herb butter on top because we’re living our best life, IMO.

7. Cajun Butter Porterhouse With Roasted Cauliflower “Steaks”

Big, bold, and a little dramatic—just like a good porterhouse should be. A smoky Cajun butter brings the fireworks while thick cauliflower steaks roast to golden perfection right beside it.
