Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 steaks (8 oz each) ribeye steak (or preferred cut of steak)
- 2 medium rutabaga
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 whole, smashed garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the rutabagas and cut them into thin fries, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the rutabaga fries with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the rutabaga fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there is space around each fry for even cooking. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
While the fries bake, pat the steaks dry with paper towels and generously season them on both sides with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 2–3 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics. Cook for 2–3 more minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired internal temperature (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5–10 minutes.
Serve the steaks alongside the rutabaga fries for a delicious, keto-friendly take on steak frites.
