This low carb garlic butter steak and asparagus is one of those weeknight dinners I lean on when I’m juggling work emails and trying to get everyone fed before it’s too late. The magic is in one simple infused butter mix: melted ghee, crushed garlic, fresh parsley, and cracked black pepper. You pour it over raw sirloin steak cubes and asparagus spears right on a baking sheet, slide it into the oven, and dinner basically makes itself. It’s hearty, cozy, and feels a little bit like steakhouse-at-home without a sink full of dishes.
Serve this garlic butter steak and asparagus straight from the baking sheet with a squeeze of fresh lemon over the top to brighten everything up. For keeping it low carb, pair it with a simple side salad, cauliflower mash, or riced cauliflower to soak up the extra buttery juices. If you’re cooking for mixed eaters, it’s also great piled over a small serving of buttered noodles or roasted potatoes on the side. A crisp sparkling water with lime or a dry red wine rounds out the meal without much effort.
