Instructions
- Perfect Pan-Seared Ribeye: Remove steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Season generously with sea salt. Heat cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add beef tallow, and cook steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Carnivore Breakfast Bowl: Cook bacon until crispy, remove and keep warm. Crack eggs into bacon fat and cook to desired doneness. Serve with bacon and butter.
- Ground Beef Patties: Form ground beef into 4 patties, season with sea salt. Heat ghee in skillet, cook patties 4-5 minutes per side until done.

Notes
Pro Tips: Always use animal fats for cooking instead of vegetable oils. Let meat come to room temperature before cooking for even heating. Don’t overcook – meat should be juicy and flavorful. For strict elimination protocol, stick to salt-only seasoning. These carnivore diet recipes for beginners are perfect for meal prep and can be stored in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
