“Funnyman and I love blue cheese on steak! In this recipe, I top it with sweet jammy red onions, which balances the flavours beautifully. These macros are based on using two large rib-eyes (220g / 7.8oz whoppers), and truth be told – I couldn’t finish mine. It’s very rich. However, Funnyman, wolfed down his portion happily!” – Monya

One of the standout features of rib-eye is its high fat content – both saturated and monounsaturated fats. These fats are essential for providing a stable source of energy, as they help maintain ketosis and keep hunger at bay.
Moreover, rib-eye steak is an excellent source of high-quality protein. Its essential amino acids are needed for muscle maintenance and overall health. It also boasts a rich source of B vitamins, particularly B12 and niacin, which play vital roles in metabolism and energy production.
Rib-eye steak is a nutritional powerhouse that aligns perfectly with the keto diet’s principles. Its high-fat, low-carb, and protein-rich composition make it a delicious and satisfying choice on keto.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Ribeye with Creamy Blue Cheese and Red Onion Relish
Per serving
Ingredients
For the ribeye
- 2 ribeye steaks
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 25 g (0.9 oz) unsalted butter, (or lard)
For the topping
- 10 g (0.4 oz) unsalted butter, (or lard)
- 1 (2.8 oz) medium red onion, peeled and finely sliced
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 120 g (4.2 oz) creamy blue cheese
- sea salt flakes
Instructions
- This dish takes 30 minutes to throw together, but you really should start the day before. Remove the ribeye from its packaging and place on a cooling rack set over a tray. Store uncovered in the fridge overnight. As Heston teaches us, "the cold, dry environment is good for this rudimentary method of dry ageing".
- Remove the steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking: season both sides of the steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside while you start with the onions (as they need to cook low-and-slow).
- Start with the red onion relish . Heat the butter in a pan and cook the onions over low to moderate heat until the onions have completely softened. Add the red wine vinegar and continue to cook over a low heat until you reach a soft 'jammy' consistency. This can take up to 25 minutes.
- To cook the steaks, melt the butter in a griddle pan and fry the steaks until a dark crust forms on the outside. Be sure to flip the steaks every 20 seconds (another handy tip from HB). Cook until done to your liking. (However, if you are cooking it to well-done, I am not sure we can be friends...)
- Remove the steaks from the pan, and season with a pinch of sea salt flakes. Immediately top with the creamy blue cheese so it can melt a little. Allow the steaks to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Top with the jammy red onions and serve with a lovely fresh salad on the side.
