Carnivore Beefsteak

A carnivore beefsteak is a delicious and satisfying dish that focuses on the pure, rich flavors of beef. This recipe is perfect for those following a carnivore or low-carb diet, emphasizing simplicity and the quality of the meat. Let’s dive into how to prepare the perfect beefsteak that’s juicy, flavorful, and entirely carnivore-friendly.

• Preparation time: 5 minutes
• Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
• Resting time: 5-10 minutes
• Total duration: 25-35 minutes

• Ingredients:

  • 1 ribeye or sirloin steak (10-12 oz)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of beef tallow or ghee

  Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
  2. Season the Steak: Generously season both sides of the steak with salt. You can also add black pepper if you prefer, but it’s optional for a strict carnivore diet.
  3. Heat the Pan: Place a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef tallow or ghee and let it melt and get hot. You want the pan to be very hot to create a nice crust on the steak.
  4. Sear the Steak: Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the steak in the pan. Let it sear without moving for about 3-4 minutes, or until a golden-brown crust forms.
  5. Flip and Sear the Other Side: Flip the steak and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes. For a medium-rare steak, you can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should read about 130°F (54°C). Adjust the cooking time according to your desired doneness.
  6. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring a juicy steak.
  7. Serve: Slice the steak against the grain and serve hot. You can add more salt if needed.

  Tips:

  • Doneness Guide: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for your preferred doneness: Rare (120-125°F), Medium Rare (130-135°F), Medium (140-145°F), Medium Well (150-155°F), Well Done (160°F+).
  • Butter Basting: For additional flavor, add a pat of butter to the skillet during the last minute of cooking and spoon the melted butter over the steak.
