Carnivore Steak Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup beef broth (preferably homemade or from a high-quality source)
- 2 tbsp butter (grass-fed or your preferred choice)
- 1 tbsp heavy cream (optional, if you want a creamier sauce)
- 1 tbsp rendered beef tallow (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional; make sure it’s free from sugar or additives if you’re strictly carnivore)
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional, if you tolerate it)
- 1 clove garlic (optional, if you like a hint of garlic)
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional, if you like a touch of herbs)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the sauce base:
- In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter (and optional tallow) over medium heat.
- If using garlic, mince it and add it to the pan, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant (skip if you prefer a simpler sauce).
-
Add beef broth:
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce for about 3-4 minutes, concentrating the flavors.
-
Add cream (optional):
- For a creamier texture, add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes to thicken.
-
Season:
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce (optional), and season with salt (and pepper, if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
-
Finish the sauce:
- Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove from heat and swirl in the remaining tablespoon of butter to create a smooth, velvety sauce.
-
Serve:
- Drizzle the sauce over your cooked steak, and enjoy!
Tips:
- Customizing: Feel free to adjust the level of cream or broth to get the thickness you prefer. More broth for a thinner sauce, more cream for a richer, thicker sauce.
- Flavoring: You can experiment with different animal fats (such as bacon grease or duck fat) for a unique flavor twist, or add a splash of your favorite carnivore-friendly vinegar or beef drippings.
This sauce is simple, full of flavor, and stays true to the carnivore diet while enhancing the steak experience!
