Keto Macro Recipes

Is there anything more satisfying than a perfectly seared ribeye?

A good steak doesn’t need much—just salt, heat, butter, and time. It’s simple, luxurious, and completely indulgent. Then there’s hollandaise sauce, buttery and silky with just the right amount of tang. Together, they create a zero-carb, ultra-keto dream that feels like something straight off a steakhouse menu but comes together in your own kitchen in under 15 minutes.

This Garlic Butter Ribeye with Hollandaise is the kind of meal that makes you pause after the first bite. It’s rich, it’s satisfying, and it’s everything a keto dinner should be.

Ingredients (1 Serving)

For the Ribeye:

• 6 oz ribeye steak (high-fat and flavorful)
• 3 tbsp butter (for basting and extra fat)
• 1 tbsp beef tallow or ghee (for cooking)
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp garlic powder

For the Hollandaise Sauce:

• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tsp lemon juice (adds a slight tang)
• Pinch of salt
• Fresh Thyme to taste

Instructions

Step 1: The Perfect Sear

Season the ribeye with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and set-aside allowing the ribeye to room temperature.  Once the ribeye is at room temp, heat 1 tablespoon of tallow or ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until hot. 

Place the steak in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, spooning 1 tablespoon of butter over the top as it cooks. The butter melds with the steak’s juices, creating a beautifully caramelized crust. Once done, remove from the heat and let it rest.

Step 2: Hollandaise, the Silky Finishing Touch

While your steak is resting, grab a small heatproof bowl and whisk together 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. SLOWLY drizzle in 2 tablespoons of melted butter, whisking continuously until the sauce turns thick and creamy. Add a pinch of salt, some fresh thyme leaves, and just like that, your hollandaise is ready. If you want are a fan of blue cheese and want to elevate your hollandaise more, add some crumbles to the hollandaise (but don’t melt it in), it’s next level.

Step 3: Bring It All Together

Once the steak has rested, plate it and drizzle generously with the warm hollandaise sauce. For an extra layer of richness, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and pour it over everything.
