Ingredients:

For the Carnivore Chips:

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese: This is the base for your chips. Mozzarella melts beautifully and gives a crispy texture when baked.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese: Adds flavor and helps crisp up the chips.
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder: Optional, for added flavor to the chips.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt: Enhances the flavor of the cheese chips.

For the Steak:

• 1 lb ribeye steak (or your favorite cut): A tender, juicy steak adds the perfect base for these nachos.
• 1 tablespoon butter: To cook the steak and add richness.
• Salt and pepper: To season the steak to taste.
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional): For an extra layer of flavor.

Toppings (optional):

• 1/2 cup sour cream: A creamy addition to your nachos.
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese: For a gooey, extra cheesy bite.
• Chopped jalapeños: If you enjoy a little heat with your nachos.

Instructions:

1. Make the Carnivore Chips:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • In a bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until well mixed.
   • Spoon small heaps of the cheese mixture onto the baking sheet, spreading them out into circles or rough chip shapes. Leave some space between each pile.
   • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool and harden on the baking sheet while you prepare the steak.

2. Cook the Steak:

   • Season the 1 lb ribeye steak with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is hot and melted, add the steak and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side (depending on your desired level of doneness). For medium-rare, aim for 3 minutes per side, or adjust as needed for your preferred level of doneness.
   • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

3. Assemble the Nachos:

   • On a serving plate, arrange the homemade carnivore chips as the base.
   • Layer the sliced steak on top of the chips.
   • Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt slightly over the warm steak. You can also briefly broil it in the oven for a minute to melt the cheese if desired.
   • Add your optional toppings like a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of jalapeños for some spice.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve your Carnivore Steak Nachos immediately, and enjoy a delicious, satisfying meal that’s completely aligned with your carnivore lifestyle. These nachos are filling, full of flavor, and perfect for a carnivore-friendly dinner!
