One-Pan Paleo Ribeye Steak and Eggs with Herb Sauce
This One Pan Ribeye Steak with Eggs and Herb Sauce is a delicious, nutrient-packed meal perfect for those following the Paleo diet. The ribeye steak is seared to perfection in a cast-iron skillet, while the eggs are cooked to your liking. A fresh herb sauce made with parsley, mint, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice adds vibrant flavor and health benefits. For those on the AIP diet, simple substitutions like omitting black pepper and eggs make this dish compliant without sacrificing taste. This recipe is easy to prepare, loaded with vitamins and minerals, and perfect for a hearty breakfast or a satisfying dinner.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, mint leaves, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
Cook the Ribeye Steak:
Pat the ribeye steak dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Season both sides generously with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it’s hot.
Place the steak in the center of the skillet and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping and turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until a dark, flavorful crust has formed on both sides. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This helps retain its juices.
Cook the Eggs:
In the same skillet, crack the eggs into the space where the steak was cooked. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the eggs until the whites are fully set, and the yolks reach your preferred consistency.
Assemble and Serve:
Spoon the prepared herb sauce over the rested steak and the cooked eggs.
Serve the steak and eggs directly from the skillet, or transfer them to a serving plate.
Notes
When preparing this dish, make sure to pat the steak dry before seasoning and cooking. This helps achieve a beautifully seared crust, locking in the juices and enhancing the flavor. The herb sauce, with its combination of parsley, mint, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice, adds a fresh and zesty contrast to the rich flavors of the steak and eggs.If you’re following the AIP diet, feel free to customize the dish to suit your needs while still enjoying a nutrient-packed, delicious meal.
