Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 10 oz) Ribeye steak
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature, approximately 20 minutes before cooking.
Season the steak generously on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmery, place the steak in the skillet.
Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your preferred level of doneness.
Add butter to the skillet, let it melt, and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter for additional flavor as it finishes cooking.
Remove the steak from the skillet, place it on a cutting board, and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
While the steak is resting, add the fresh spinach to the same skillet. Sauté it for about 2-3 minutes until wilted, scraping up any flavorful bits left in the pan.
Finish the spinach with fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
Slice the steak against the grain, arrange it on a plate, and serve with the sautéed spinach for a deliciously low-carb breakfast meal.
