Keto Steak Dinner For Two

Step 1Take steaks out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature. Prepare all the ingredients for the Hollandaise sauce.

Step 2To make the hollandaise, use a large-mouthed mason jar that fits your hand blender. Zero your scale, add butter to the jar, and microwave until melted. Add egg yolks and lemon juice to the butter. Place the blender at the bottom of the jar and blend, lifting slowly. Add the tomatoes and basil to the sauce—blend or stir in, based on your preference. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3Place the egg yolks and lemon juice into the hot butter. Place the hand blender at the bottom of the jar and blitz until combined, lifting the blender slowly. You can either blitz the tomato and basil into the sauce or stir it through at the end…or half and half. It all depends on your personal preferences – I did half and half. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 4Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus, then toss the spears in a bowl with olive oil.

Step 5Preheat your griddle pan (or any skillet) until hot. If using a pan, rub each side of the steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 6Place steaks on the grill for 2 minutes without moving. Rotate quarter turn if you want grill marks. Grill steaks for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness. Remove, cover loosely with foil, and let rest.

Step 7Place asparagus on the hot grill, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, turning halfway.

Step 8Season the asparagus with salt and pepper before serving. Store any leftover hollandaise in a jar in the fridge for up to 3 days; warm gently before using.
Note: This meal suits OMAD/TMAD plans. If you need less protein or fat, try smaller steaks or less hollandaise.
