Grilled Steaks With Herb Butter Recipe
“Steak with butter” has to top the list of most people’s Top 10 Unhealthy Foods, but the Paleo crowd knows better! In case you need a refresher, the steak has all kinds of benefits beyond “protein,” the butter provides an anti-inflammatory fat called butyrate, and if you’re using grass-fed butter you’ll also get a healthy dose of Vitamin K2. And of course, saturated fat doesn’t cause heart disease, and neither does cholesterol, and animal protein doesn’t cause cancer or anything else.
