Carnivore Beef Patties

Description

These Carnivore Beef Patties are simple, juicy, and packed with protein and healthy fats. Made with just ground beef and salt, they’re perfect for anyone following a carnivore, keto, or very low-carb lifestyle. No fillers, no plants—just real food that satisfies and fuels your body.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 recommended for juiciness and flavor)

  • 1 tsp salt (Redmond Real Salt or high-quality sea salt)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a cast-iron skillet or stainless steel pan over medium heat.

  2. Form patties: Divide ground beef into 3–4 equal portions. Gently shape into patties (do not overwork the meat).

  3. Season both sides evenly with salt.

  4. Cook patties for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.

  5. Rest for 2–3 minutes before serving to retain juices.

Chef’s Notes

  • Avoid pressing the patties while cooking—this releases flavorful juices.

  • Cast iron gives the best crust, but any heavy pan works.

  • If using leaner beef, consider adding a little beef tallow or butter to the pan.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use room-temperature beef for even cooking.

  • Flip only once to develop a good sear.

  • Season just before cooking to keep the meat tender.

  • For extra fat, top with a slice of grass-fed butter after cooking.

Servings

  • 3–4 patties

  • Serves: 2–4 (depending on appetite)
