Carnivore stake with BBQ Sauce (without sugar or plant-based ingredients)
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup beef bone broth (for flavor depth)
-
2 tablespoons beef tallow (or pork lard)
-
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (optional, if you tolerate it)
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, as some carnivores avoid mustard, but it adds depth)
-
1/2 teaspoon smoked salt (or regular salt)
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, if you’re okay with a bit of seasoning)
-
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Directions:
-
In a saucepan, melt the beef tallow over medium heat.
-
Add the beef bone broth, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, smoked salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer.
-
Allow it to simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Carnivore Italian Dressing (No plant oils or vinegar)
Ingredients:
-
1/4 cup beef tallow (or pork lard)
-
1 tablespoon beef bone broth

-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Directions:

In a small saucepan, heat the beef tallow until melted.

Add the beef bone broth and stir in the seasonings (salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and pepper).
-
Add the heavy cream (if using) for a richer dressing consistency and stir well.
-
Simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Carnivore Hot Sauce
Since traditional hot sauces often have vinegar and plant-based ingredients, we’ll create a hot sauce using bone broth and chili flakes (optional, depending on heat tolerance).
Ingredients:
-
1/4 cup beef bone broth
-
1 tablespoon beef tallow
-
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (or more, depending on desired heat)
-
1/4 teaspoon smoked salt
-
Fresh ground black pepper (optional)
Directions:
-
In a small saucepan, melt the beef tallow and add the beef bone broth.
-
Stir in the chili flakes, smoked salt, and pepper.
-
Simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors meld, and adjust heat to your liking by adding more chili flakes.
