Looking for a Delicious Carnivore-Friendly Meal to Stay in My Cutting Zone?

TL;DR: Check out this easy ribeye recipe to enjoy while cutting on a carnivore diet!

If you're cutting but still want to indulge in something flavorful, I've got the perfect recipe for you. It's a simple carnivore-friendly beef ribeye with garlic butter that will satisfy your cravings without breaking the calorie bank. Ribeye is packed with protein and healthy fats, making it an ideal choice for those of us who thrive on animal-based diets!

Ingredients:

  • 1 ribeye steak (about 12 oz / 340 g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preparation: Take your ribeye out of the fridge and let it sit for about 30 minutes to come to room temperature. This helps it cook more evenly.
  2. Seasoning: Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. If you're feeling adventurous, sprinkle some fresh herbs on top!
  3. Cooking: Heat a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the ribeye and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust time based on your desired doneness.
  4. Garlic Butter: In the last minute of cooking, add butter and minced garlic to the pan. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the steak as it finishes cooking.
  5. Resting: Once cooked to your liking, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Nutrition Info:

This ribeye packs about 800 kcal, with roughly 60 g protein and 60 g fat, depending on the cut. Pair this with some bone broth or a side of pork rinds for a satisfying meal that keeps you in your deficit while enjoying the rich flavors of carnivore goodness. Give it a try, and let me know how it turns out!

This ribeye recipe sounds amazing! Cooking it to medium-rare will bring out the best flavors, especially with that garlic butter. Ribeye is a fantastic choice, loaded with healthy fats and protein. Plus, it's super satisfying for those cutting calories. If you're looking for more carnivore-friendly options, consider adding some bone marrow to the dish or pairing it with a beef liver pâté for added nutrients

Not gonna lie, garlic butter makes everything taste better! I've also found that adding a splash of lemon juice after cooking brightens the flavor even more. And for those looking to get fancy, you can finish it off with a sprinkle of feta cheese for an extra punch. It sounds counterintuitive, but it works!

Yeah, ribeye sounds great until you realize you can't eat it without thinking about the cows. I'm not saying I miss tofu, but at least it doesn't make me feel guilty. Plus, good luck cutting with all that fat. Not saying it won't taste good, but if you're cutting, isn't there a better option?

I love ribeye nights in my house! My kids think it's a special treat when I cook it, and they never realize they're eating healthy. I usually pair it with a simple side salad or grilled veggies to keep things balanced. Plus, they love the garlic butter drizzled over everything, makes it feel like a real restaurant meal!

Facts, ribeye is great but don't forget to track your macros! That 800 kcal can add up quickly if you're not careful. If you're looking to keep it lower fat, you might want to consider sirloin or flank steak instead. Still plenty of flavor, less guilt!
