Best paleo recipes: Grass-Fed Steak with Garlic Fries and Béarnaise Sauce

A healthy take on a classic favorite. This is usually our Friday night supper.

For the Garlic Fries

• 2 sweet potatoes, chopped into fries
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
• For the Béarnaise Sauce
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons hot water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt, pepper to taste
• For the Steak
• 2 grass-fed steaks
• 1 tablespoon butter or ghee

Serve with steamed greens

PREPARATION TIME: 15 minutes

COOKING TIME: 35 minutes

SERVES: 2

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place the chopped sweet potato in a baking dish and top with the garlic and 1 tablespoon of butter or ghee. Bake for a few minutes, allowing the fat to melt, then toss the baking dish to ensure all the fries are coated in the garlic and oil. Bake for 25–30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, make the béarnaise sauce. In a heat-proof bowl, gently whisk the egg yolks. Continue mixing and slowly add the hot water, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
4. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, fitted as a double boiler. Keep whisking until the sauce begins to thicken. (It shouldn’t take long, around 30 seconds.) Then keep the sauce at room temperature.
5. When the fries are almost cooked, panfry the steak over low-medium heat in a tablespoon of butter or ghee, turning each minute until it is cooked to your liking.
6. Serve the steak and fries with the béarnaise sauce on the side.

Best paleo recipes: ITALIAN MEATBALLS

This is a classic Italian dish, but we’ve swapped the pasta for something more nutrient-dense: zucchini spaghetti. It’s fantastic for a big family dinner. You will need a julienne peeler for this.

For the Meatballs

• 1 egg
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 heaping tablespoon oregano
• Salt, pepper to taste
• Ghee or butter for the pan

For the Sauce

• 1 large white onion, chopped
• 6 black poplar mushrooms, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 10–20 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
• 2 14-ounce cans of chopped tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)

For the Spaghetti

• 3 zucchinis, julienned 

PREPARATION TIME: 10 minutes

COOKING TIME: 20–25 minutes

SERVES: 4

1. Start by making the meatballs. In a large bowl, beat an egg and add the ground beef, oregano, chopped rosemary, salt....pepper. Use your hands to mix together thoroughly.
2. Melt some ghee in a large pan. Shape the mixture into meatballs around 2 inches in diameter and place in the pan over medium heat, moving it around every now and then to ensure that the meat browns on all sides.
3. While these are cooking, start to make the sauce. In another large pan, heat the butter/ ghee and add the onion, mushrooms, garlic, and basil.
4. Stir the ingredients and cook through until the onion and mushroom have softened slightly.
5. Add the tomatoes and chili powder, and stir. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
6. Add the meatballs to the sauce and continue to simmer for 5 minutes while you make the spaghetti
7. To prepare the zucchini spaghetti, melt a little butter in a saucepan and add the julienned zucchini. (You can grate the zucchini if you don’t have a julienne slicer.) Keep stirring until the zucchini softens to a texture you prefer.
8. Drain the spaghetti. Serve topped with the sauce and meatballs

Best paleo recipes: Lightning Lamb Kebabs

Why are these called Lightning Lamb Kebabs? Simply because they are so quick to prepare and cook. Lamb is one of our favorite meats, and this recipe is inspired by some of the great-tasting lamb dishes we tried during our vacation on the Greek island of Santorini. These lamb kebabs are great straight from the oven, but are so flavorsome they’re awesome served cold the next day, too. Paleo burgers are a great company to these :)

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pound lamb, cut into 1½-inch cubes
• 6–8 fresh sprigs of rosemary or kebab sticks
• 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into 1-inch squares
• 1 red onion, peeled and quartered

PREPARATION TIME: 8–10 minutes

COOKING TIME: 10 minutes

SERVES: 2

Serve with

a large mixed salad

1. Preheat grill to medium heat so it is ready as soon as the kebabs are prepared.
2. Mix the olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until it turns into a paste.
3. Add the paste to the pieces of lamb and coat thoroughly.
4. Prepare the rosemary sprigs by removing a few of the leaves from the bottom of the sprig. Skewer the lamb, peppers, and onion onto the rosemary sprigs, alternating meat and vegetables. (Spear them at the base of the rosemary sprig, as this is much easier.)
5. Place the kebabs on the grill for 5–10 minutes, turning regularly until cooked to your liking
