Paleo Reverse Seared Steak Dinner
Serve as a combo or à la carte!
Although I can’t think of a reason you’d want to serve them separately (hello BFF steak and fries), here are some tips to ensure each of your individual dishes is lovely and yummy.
For the Paleo Reverse Seared Steak, I strongly recommend looking for a thicker cut (ideally 2-inch thickness) so that the steak will stay tender and juicy throughout the cooking process.
Ribeye is an awesome choice here. Be sure to read through the cooking steps and time so that the steak will stay tender and juicy.
The Shoestring Smoky Sweet Potato Fries are a crowd pleaser. I love their crunchy baked texture. It reminds me of Cantonese-style crispy chow mein but healthier!
Spiralizing in order to create the longest, most beautiful noodles. You can also slice the potatoes into halves to apply more pressure to push the noodles through the Spiralizer.
To add more instant flavor pop to your everyday sautéed vegetables, adding a few teaspoons of grated ginger stored in the freezer will kick plain old veggie sauté to the next level!
It’s simple: Store a small piece of ginger in a small container in the freezer. Grate it using a microplane (as if you’re grating Parmigiano cheese) over warm kale (or any veggie sauté). It’ll instantly add more Asian-inspired flavor to your veggie sauté.
What About a Sauce?
I’m a sucker when it comes to color green.

Paleo Reverse Seared Steak Recipe
Ingredients
- 16 oz ribeye steak, 1.5 to 2 inch thick
- Coarse salt and black pepper
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 2 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 250F. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and season generously on all sides with coarse salt and black pepper. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on it. Place steak on the rack. Bake for about 25 mins for medium-rare. (Use a meat thermometer for most precise results).
Preheat a cast iron or stainless steel skillet until it’s almost smoking hot. Add 2 tablespoons avocado oil. Add steak. Sear first side for 30 seconds then flip.
Add smashed garlic cloves and 2 tbsp ghee. Swirl / baste the garlic and ghee oil over the steak for another 30 seconds. Turn the steak again to sear the first side for an additional 15 seconds then sear its side to render more fat.
Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Recipe Notes
Shoestring Smoky Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes or yams (pick even, long, tube cylinder shape)
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp sumac (optional)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Coarse salt, to taste
- Chopped parsley, small handful
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F. Scrub your sweet potatoes / yams clean. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spiralize sweet potatoes. (It's easier to spiralize potatoes by cutting them in half first).
Drizzle the spiralized noodles with avocado oil and all seasonings with the exception of chopped parsley.
Gently toss to distribute the oil and seasonings evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through and brown on the edges.
Recipe Notes
Asian Garlicky Kale Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch curly kale (about 10-12 oz), stemmed, with leaves coarsely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1-2 tsp grated ginger*
- Coarse salt, to taste
- 1-2 tbsp avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, lower the heat to medium and add 1 to 2 tablespoons avocado oil and chopped garlic.
Season with a small pinch of salt and sauté until fragrant, about 6-8 seconds.
Add chopped kale and keep sautéing until the leaves turn darker green but are not withered. Season with another small pinch of salt.
Turn off the heat and while the skillet is still hot, grate about 1-2 teaspoons ginger over kale. (Use more if you like.) Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
Recipe Notes
*Sometimes it’s difficult to figure out how to store small pieces of leftover ginger. In this case, I freeze them and use them for grating. The frozen ginger, once grated, gives a light gingery flavor pop to sautéed veggies.
