Carnivore-Friendly Pan-Seared Rump Steak
Ingredients:
- 1 rump steak (about 6-8 oz)
- 1 tablespoon animal fat (e.g., tallow, lard, or butter)
- Salt (to taste)
- Freshly cracked black pepper (optional, depending on your strictness with the carnivore diet)
Instructions:
-
Prep the Steak:
- Allow the rump steak to come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper (if using).
-
Cook the Steak:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of animal fat in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add the rump steak and cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time for your preferred doneness.
- When done, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes.
-
Serve:
- Optionally, you can melt a little more butter over the steak for extra richness before serving.
Carnivore-Friendly Option:
This recipe still provides a flavorful steak without any plant-based ingredients, and the animal fat (tallow, lard, or butter) keeps it compliant with the carnivore diet.
Enjoy your carnivore-approved rump steak!
