Keto Summer Steak with Whipped Feta and Arugula Chimichurri
When it comes to Keto summer dinners, nothing beats a sizzling and succulent steak. If you're following a Keto diet and looking for a delicious option, this Keto summer steak with whipped feta and arugula chimichurri recipe is a must-try. Bursting with flavors and vibrant ingredients, this dish is perfect for a satisfying summer dinner. Let's dive into the details and discover how you can create this mouthwatering Keto-friendly recipe.
What steak cuts can you use for this recipe?
The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. You can use various steak cuts, but for optimal tenderness and flavor, we recommend opting for sirloin steak. Sirloin steak offers a good balance between lean meat and marbling, ensuring a juicy and flavorful outcome. You can also use ribeye or New York steak for similar results. For a more economical option, consider flank steak.
How to test the steak for doneness?
Achieving the perfect doneness for your steak is crucial to ensure a tender and delicious meal. To test the steak's doneness, we recommend using a meat thermometer. For this recipe, the steak is cooked to medium well, reaching an internal temperature of 150°F/65°C. This temperature ensures a balance between tenderness and retaining the juicy flavors. If you prefer your steak medium-rare, cook to 135°F/ 57°C, and if you prefer it medium, cook to 145°F/ 63°C. Allow the steak to rest for five minutes before slicing, as this helps preserve its natural juices.
How to customize this Keto summer dinner recipe?
Customizing this recipe allows you to tailor it to your personal preferences. You can add your own twist by experimenting with different herbs and spices in the chimichurri sauce. If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of crushed red pepper. For a milder taste, reduce the amount. Additionally, feel free to adjust the seasoning in the whipped feta to suit your taste buds. You can also pair this steak with your favorite Keto-friendly side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a refreshing salad.

Rinse the food processor and add the arugula, parsley, 1 garlic clove, shallot, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp red wine vinegar, ½ tsp salt, and crushed red pepper. Pulse until the chimichurri reaches a rough texture; it shouldn’t be too fine. Taste, adjust seasoning to your liking, then transfer to a small bowl and keep in the fridge.Step 4
Place a skillet over medium-high heat and take the steak out of the fridge. Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil in the pan, and once it's sizzling hot, add the steak. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned.Step 5
