Ingredients

Base

  • 1 lb sirloin, New York strip, or ribeye steak (about 1 to 1.25 lb, patted dry)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 3–4 cloves garlic (minced)

Fresh herbs

  • to taste parsley and/or chives
  • 1 lemon lemon (zest and wedges)
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • optional crushed red pepper flakes

Base

  • to taste cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice

Veggies

  • to taste broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, or bell peppers

Add-ons

  • to taste avocado, pickled onions, feta or Parmesan (optional)

Instructions 

  • Cook the base: prepare rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice and keep warm.
  • Season steak with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot skillet 2-3 minutes per side. Rest the steak.
  • Sear veggies in the skillet until crisp-tender, then remove. Make garlic butter by melting butter, adding garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking briefly.
  • Return steak to the skillet, toss with garlic butter, lemon zest, and herbs. Slice or leave whole.
  • Assemble bowls with base, steak, veggies, and toppings. Finish with lemon juice, herbs, and extra garlic butter if desired.

For extra flavor, drizzle with the remaining garlic butter before serving.
