Sliced grilled steak served over peppery arugula with Parmigiano shavings. This high protein mediterranean dish is a fresh, carnivore-friendly family dinner perfect for a keto or lower cholesterol plan.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking; pat dry thoroughly with paper towels and season both sides generously with coarse sea salt and black pepper.
Preheat a grill pan or heavy cast iron skillet over high heat for at least 5 minutes until just smoking.
Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the steak; lay the steak into the hot pan and sear for 2–3 minutes undisturbed per side for medium-rare, adjusting timing for desired doneness and temperature.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil, and let it rest for 8 minutes to allow juices to redistribute evenly.
Toss arugula with the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Arrange on a platter. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and lay the slices over the arugula. Top with Parmigiano shavings and finish with an extra sprinkle of black pepper just before serving.
