🧂 Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 recommended for richness)

• 1 cup beef bone broth (unsalted or low sodium)

• 1/4 cup heavy cream

• 1 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)

• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper (optional if you’re strict carnivore)

• Optional additions (still animal-based):

  • 1–2 tbsp cream cheese (for a thicker sauce)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional for a more keto/carnivore-flex version)

🔥 Instructions

1. Brown the Ground Beef:

   • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula.

   • Cook until it’s nicely browned and fully cooked (about 5–7 minutes).

   • Do not drain the fat — it adds flavor and fat content for the carnivore diet.

2. Add the Bone Broth:

   • Pour in the 1 cup beef bone broth and bring to a simmer.

   • Let it simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate flavor.

3. Add Heavy Cream (and Optional Cream Cheese):

   • Stir in the 1/4 cup heavy cream and reduce heat to low.

   • If using cream cheese, stir in 1–2 tbsp now and whisk to incorporate until smooth.

   • Simmer gently for 5 more minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

4. Season to Taste:

   • Add 1 tsp sea salt and a pinch of black pepper (or leave pepper out if you’re doing strict carnivore).

   • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

5. Serve:

   • Spoon the creamy beef mixture into bowls and enjoy hot.

   • Optional: Top with a dollop of sour cream or shredded aged cheese (if tolerated).

📝 Tips

• Use cream cheese to thicken if your sauce is too thin.

• Want extra fat? Drizzle in a spoon of tallow or ghee at the end.

• If tolerated, a few sautéed mushrooms can be added for a keto/carnivore hybrid.
