🥩 Ingredients
-
2 ribeye steaks (8–10 oz each, about 1 inch thick)
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper (optional for strict carnivore, skip if needed)
-
1 tbsp tallow, beef fat, or butter (for searing)
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter
-
2 cloves garlic, smashed (optional for carnivore purists)
🔥 Instructions
Step 1: Bring Steaks to Room Temperature
Remove steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
Pat dry with paper towels for a perfect sear.
Step 2: Sear the Steaks
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add tallow or butter.
Once sizzling, place the ribeyes in the pan.
Sear 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until a golden crust forms.
Step 3: Make Garlic Butter
Reduce heat to low, add butter and smashed garlic to the skillet.
Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steaks for 1–2 minutes.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
Transfer steaks to a plate and rest for 5 minutes.
Slice and serve with melted garlic butter from the pan.

💡 Tips for the Perfect Carnivore Steak
-
Use cast iron: It locks in heat and gives that restaurant crust.
-
Go thicker: 1–1.5 inches thick steak = juicier interior.
-
Add variety: Try using butter, ghee, or rendered beef tallow for different flavor profiles.
-
Carnivore strict version: Skip garlic and pepper — just salt and beef.
