    Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Aji Verde: A Keto Beef Lover's Dream!

    Hey there, fellow food enthusiasts! Welcome to another episode of "Bobbi's Grilled Beef Obsession"! Seriously, I can't seem to get enough of it, and thankfully, neither can my hubby, Kevin. Because let's face it, no one wants to stand between me and a juicy, grilled steak—especially not him!

    Since diving into the world of low-carb living, I've made it my mission to elevate my steak game with tantalizing rubs and sauces. Sure, a simple seasoning of salt and pepper does the trick, but sometimes you crave that extra oomph, that burst of flavor that takes your taste buds on a wild ride.

    And that's where our hero of the day comes in: Aji Verde sauce. This vibrant green concoction is the perfect blend of spice and flavor, adding that zing without overpowering the star of the show—the steak. Plus, it's ridiculously easy to whip up. Just toss a few ingredients into a blender or food processor, and voila! You've got yourself a game-changing sauce that pairs perfectly with everything from grilled meats to morning eggs. (Seriously, steak and eggs for breakfast? Count me in!)

    Now, let's talk about the main event: grilled ribeye. Is there anything more drool-worthy than a beautifully marbled ribeye, seasoned to perfection and ready to hit the grill? I think not. As soon as those steaks are seasoned and resting, waiting to be grilled, it's all I can think about. Patience may be a virtue, but when it comes to steak, it's a struggle!

    For those of us living the low-carb lifestyle, ribeye is the ultimate cut of beef. It's rich, it's flavorful, and it's packed with all the fats and proteins we need to keep us satisfied. With approximately 43 grams of fat and 56 grams of protein per eight-ounce steak, these grilled ribeyes with Aji Verde sauce are not just delicious—they're keto perfection.

    So fire up the grill, whip up some Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Aji Verde (Peruvian Green Sauce), and get ready to indulge in a steak experience like no other. It's a win-win situation for your taste buds and your low-carb lifestyle!

    🥘Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Aji Verde (Peruvian Green Sauce) Ingredients

    These are the ingredients necessary to make Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Aji Verde (Peruvian Green Sauce).

    All of the ingredients needed to make Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Aji Verde (Peruvian Green Sauce) on a white background.
    • Ribeyes - I prefer boneless grass-fed ribeyes that are about 8 to 10 ounces but you can use whatever you enjoy.
    • Cilantro - Use it all, don't be afraid to use the stems too!
    • Aji Amarillo - This is a hot pepper paste I get from Amazon but you may be able to find it locally if you have an international market close by.

    A detailed list with measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

    Helpful Hint: 💡: I know the recipes say that the xanthan gum is optional but it does aid the creaminess of this recipe.

    🍽Equipment

    This is the equipment you will need to make Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Aji Verde (Peruvian Green Sauce).

    • measuring cups and spoons
    • mini blender
    • grill
    • grill pan
    • digital meat thermometer

    Storage

    1. Refrigeration: Place the cooled steak in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
    2. Freezing: If you don't plan to consume the steak within a few days, you can freeze it for longer storage. Wrap the cooled steak tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, or use a freezer-safe container. Label the package with the date. It should stay good in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months.
    3. Reheating: When ready to enjoy the leftover steak, you can reheat it gently in a skillet over medium heat, in the oven at a low temperature, or in the microwave until warmed through. Be careful not to overcook it, as reheating too much can dry out the meat.

    💭Top tip

    Experiment with different milk alternatives for a unique flavor profile. Whether it's almond milk, coconut milk, or a blend, finding the perfect match can elevate your keto hot chocolate experience. Adjust the sweetness to your liking and add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra cozy touch. This way, you'll have a customized cup of warmth that suits your taste buds perfectly.

    FAQ about Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Aji Verde (Peruvian Green Sauce)

    Can I use a different cut of steak for this recipe?

    While ribeye steaks are recommended for their tenderness and flavor, you can certainly use other cuts like strip steak or filet mignon. Adjust cooking times accordingly based on the thickness of the steak.

    Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

    Yes! The Peruvian green sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This allows the flavors to meld together even more, enhancing the overall taste.

    Can I adjust the level of spice in the sauce?

    Absolutely! If you prefer a milder sauce, you can reduce the amount of jalapeño or omit it altogether. Conversely, if you like it spicier, you can add additional jalapeño or even a different type of chili pepper to suit your taste preferences.

      Hey, Bobbi
      Wow, great post, We get pretty excited about steak around our house. Be sure to salt and pepper your steak at least 45 minutes before grilling, otherwise, the salt will dry it out. The marinade is always a good thing for steak too. Flank or skirt steak would be great with your salsa verde recipe…more flavor than top sirloin. Love the simplicity of this.
