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
Directions
Step 1
Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature, approximately 20 minutes before cooking.
Step 2
Season the steak generously on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmery, place the steak in the skillet.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the steak from the skillet, place it on a cutting board, and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Finish the spinach with fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 9
Slice the steak against the grain, arrange it on a plate, and serve with the sautéed spinach for a deliciously low-carb breakfast meal.
