Steak and Main Ingredients

2 steak cuts of choice (ribeye, sirloin, or filet) – about 8 ounces each
4 slices smoked turkey bacon
2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (about 4 sprigs)
Sea salt, to taste
Cracked black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons plant-based butter
1 medium red onion, diced
1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
1/4 cup grape juice

Instructions

Preparing the Steak: Bring the steak to room temperature and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper to enhance the natural flavor.
Cooking Smoked Turkey Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the smoked turkey bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Searing the Steak: In the same skillet, add olive oil and fresh thyme or rosemary. When the oil is hot, place the steak in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side depending on thickness. Baste occasionally with plant-based butter and the herb-infused oil to seal in moisture.
Preparing the Sauce: Remove the steak and let it rest. In the same pan with drippings, add minced garlic and diced red onions. Cook until softened. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and grape juice. Simmer to create a tangy, savory reduction. Add the natural gelling agent to achieve a smooth texture.
Serving Your Steak Dinner: Spoon the sauce over the rested steak. Top with crispy smoked turkey bacon and garnish with fresh herbs for a fragrant and visually appealing finish.

Notes

Let steaks come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even doneness.
Do not overcrowd the pan; sear steaks in batches if necessary to maintain a proper crust.
Rest the cooked steak for at least 5 minutes to retain juices and tenderness.
Use a meat thermometer and aim for 130°F for medium-rare doneness.
Choose high-quality smoked turkey bacon and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce to enhance flavor.
