Garlic Cilantro Butter Steak with Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

This keto steak recipe uses the most yummy homemade cilantro garlic butter to make your steak buttery and OMG-good. You’ve never had steak like this! It’s so, so yummy.

How to Make Garlic Cilantro Butter

• Prep the ingredients. Mince the garlic and chop up your fresh cilantro.
• Mix well. In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic and chopped cilantro.
• Season. If needed, sprinkle a bit of salt to taste.
• Refrigerate. I like to wrap it in parchment paper and then roll it into a log before refrigerating. This way, it will solidify into shape.

How to Make Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

Bacon-wrapped asparagus pairs perfectly with a nice, juicy steak, and when said steak is topped with my signature garlic cilantro butter, you truly have a match made in heaven. To make your own bacon-wrapped asparagus, follow these steps:

• Preheat the oven. Preheating ensures a more accurate cooking time. You don’t want to overcook your asparagus.
• Prep the bacon. Slice your bacon strips in half.
• Wrap the asparagus. Wrap each asparagus in half a strip of bacon.
• Place on baking sheet.
• Season. Season the bacon-wrapped asparagus with some salt and pepper.
• Brush with olive oil.
• Bake. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.

How to Cook the Perfect Keto Steak

When it comes to steak, you’re already halfway there if you select the right cut of meat. For this recipe, I recommend using boneless rib-eye, New York strip or sirloin steaks.

• Season the steaks. I’m a bit of a minimalist when it comes to steak; good old salt and pepper will do.
• Heat the oil and butter. You’ll want to put your skillet over high heat.
• Sear. Sear the steaks for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You want a brown crust on each side.
• Baste. Tip the skillet slightly and spoon the juices over the steak.
• Transfer to the oven. Bake for another 6 to 8 minutes in the oven.
• Remove from the oven.
• Top with garlic cilantro butter. Top each steak with a small slice of the prepared butter.
• Cover with foil. Cover with foil while letting your steaks stand for about 10 minutes.
• Serve!
