Ingredients

  • Grass-fed ribeye steak (around 8 oz / 225 g per serving)
  • Chicken thighs, boneless and skin-on (about 6 pieces)
  • Pork sausages, sugar-free and nitrate-free (4 links)
  • Wild-caught salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each)
  • Avocado oil
  • Grass-fed butter, unsalted
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Smoked paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
  • Fresh thyme
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Lemon juice
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Almond flour (optional)
  • Zucchini
  • Bell peppers

Instructions

  1. Marinate the meats: In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons avocado oil, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper. Add lemon juice and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Toss chosen meats in the marinade, coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (minimum 15 minutes if short on time). For chicken, optionally add almond flour for a crispy coa…
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). If using charcoal, let coals burn down to glowing red with a thin layer of ash. Brush grill grates with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the meats: Place meats on the grill. Ribeye steaks: 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130°F). Chicken thighs: 6-7 minutes per side until juices run clear and internal temp reaches 165°F. Salmon: Grill skin-side down for 6-8 minutes, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes more. Avoid flipping multiple times.
  4. Grill the veggies (optional): Toss sliced zucchini and bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Use a grill basket or foil and grill alongside meats for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and charred.
  5. Rest the meats for 5 minutes on a cutting board loosely covered with foil to redistribute juices.
  6. Serve: Slice meats against the grain, drizzle with melted butter or fresh lemon juice, and serve with grilled veggies or a keto-friendly side salad. Optionally sprinkle fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Rest meats for at least 5 minutes after grilling to keep them juicy. Pat meats dry before marinating to ensure a good sear. Use a meat thermometer to achieve perfect doneness. Avoid overcrowding the grill for even cooking. For dairy-free, substitute butter with avocado or olive oil. Marinades can be prepared up to 3 days in advance. Use grill baskets or foil for delicate veggies or fish. Avoid flipping meats multiple times to develop a good crust.
