Bacon cheese walnut crusted steak is a simple but ever so tasty recipe that is low carb, keto and gluten free. The bacon, toasted walnut and cured Mahon Menorca cheese crust on top of a perfectly rubbed and pan seared steak is a heavenly experience for your taste buds!
Preheat oven to 375 F (191 C). Add chopped walnuts to a lined baking sheet. Bake walnuts for 5 to 6 minutes until lightly toasted. Removed and set aside.
In a small bowl combine: garlic powder, sea salt, paprika, black pepper,and onion powder. Stir together.
Rub both sides of each steak with the seasoning mix.
Heat a pan on stove top to medium high heat and add butter. Sear steaks in pan for 5 to 8 minutes on each side (for medium rare to medium), or longer or shorter depending on preference and thickness of steaks. Remove from pan to let steak rest. As soon as steak is removed from pan add grated cheese to the tops of each steak (*steak must rest for 5 minutes before cutting). Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and chopped cooked bacon crumbles.
After steak rests and cheese is starting to melt, serve.
