Carnivore Protein Burger Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for a nice balance of fat and protein)
- 1/2 lb ground pork (optional, for added flavor and juiciness)
- 2 large eggs (to help bind the meat and provide additional protein)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for added richness and flavor)
- Salt to taste (use sea salt or Himalayan pink salt for optimal flavor)
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional, depending on your tolerance for minimal seasoning)
- 1-2 tbsp beef tallow, ghee, or animal fat for cooking
- 1 tbsp garlic powder (optional, if your version of carnivore allows it)
- 1 tbsp onion powder (optional, if tolerated)
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish)
Tools:
- Mixing bowl
- Skillet or grill for cooking the burgers
- Meat thermometer (optional, to check the internal temperature)
- Spatula or tongs for flipping the burgers
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- Begin by placing the ground beef and ground pork (if using) into a large mixing bowl. Combining beef and pork gives the burgers a nice balance of flavor and juiciness, but you can use just beef if you prefer.
- Crack the two eggs into the bowl with the ground meat. The eggs serve as a binder, helping the meat stay together and providing additional protein and fat.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or onion powder. Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the meat mixture is uniform and all the ingredients are well combined.
