Carnivore Butter Burgers Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 fat ratio for juiciness)
-
4 tbsp unsalted butter (or more, depending on how buttery you like it)
-
Salt, to taste
-
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
-
Optional: garlic powder or onion powder (if you’re not strictly carnivore but want to add flavor)
-
Optional: cheese slices (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beef:
-
Take the ground beef and season it with salt and pepper. If you’re using garlic or onion powder, add a pinch of each as well. Mix the beef gently (don’t overwork it) and form it into 4 patties. You want the patties to be slightly larger than the buns you plan to use, since they will shrink as they cook.
-
-
Cook the Patties:
-
Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill/skillet.
-
Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like them. The goal is to get a nice crispy crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
-
-
Add Butter:
-
Once the burgers are cooked to your liking, reduce the heat to low and add 1 tablespoon of butter to each burger patty. Let the butter melt over the top of the patty and soak into the meat. This will give the burger an incredible richness.
-
-
Optional Cheese:
-
If you’re using cheese, place a slice on each patty right before you add the butter so it has time to melt.
-
-
Serve:
-
Serve the butter burgers hot! You can eat them as-is (for a strict carnivore approach) or add carnivore-friendly condiments (like mustard or sugar-free ketchup) and side dishes like crispy bacon, if desired.
-
Tips:
-
For extra flavor, you can sear the patties in butter instead of cooking them in oil.
-
Make sure to use high-quality butter for the best flavor.
-
If you’re not strictly carnivore, you can top your butter burger with sautéed onions or mushrooms.
