🥚 Carnivore Mayo Recipe (Beef Tallow Mayo / Egg Yolk Mayo)
Ingredients
-
2 egg yolks (room temperature)
-
1 cup melted beef tallow (cooled but still liquid)
-
1 tsp salt (optional, to taste)
-
1–2 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (optional — strict carnivore can skip)
Tip: Make sure egg yolks & tallow are close to the same temperature — helps prevent separation.
🔪 Instructions
-
In a bowl, add egg yolks and salt (and lemon/vinegar if using).
-
Whisk or blend with hand blender for 10–15 seconds.
-
Slowly drizzle in melted tallow while blending.
-
Add just a few drops at first until it thickens.
-
Then pour a thin stream while blending continuously.
-
-
Blend until creamy & thick like classic mayo.
-
Store in a glass jar up to 5–7 days in the refrigerator.
