š„©Ā Carnivore Steak Sauce Recipe
ThisĀ Carnivore Steak SauceĀ is rich, creamy, and meaty ā the perfect complement to a juicy steak. Unlike traditional steak sauces filled with sugar, herbs, or artificial flavors, this recipe keeps it animal-based and simple while still packing bold flavor. Itās velvety, savory, and enhances the natural taste of beef without overpowering it.
šĀ Ingredients
- ½ cup beef bone broth (reduced, for richness)
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or mascarpone for thicker texture)
- 2 tbsp butter (unsalted or salted, depending on preference)
- 1 tbsp beef tallow (optional, for deeper flavor)
- 1 egg yolk (for creaminess, optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional, if tolerated in your version of carnivore)
š„Ā Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring theĀ beef brothĀ to a simmer and reduce it by half for a concentrated flavor.
- Lower the heat and whisk inĀ butter and tallowĀ until melted and glossy.
- Stir in theĀ heavy cream (or mascarpone)Ā and simmer gently until the sauce thickens.
- For extra richness, whisk in anĀ egg yolkĀ (off the heat to avoid scrambling).
- Season withĀ saltĀ (and pepper if desired).
- Serve warm over steak, burgers, or roasted meats.
šĀ Notes
- Keep the heat low when adding cream and yolk to avoid curdling.
- For a stronger beef flavor, reduce the broth longer until itās slightly syrupy.
- Mascarpone makes the sauce thicker and more luxurious.
- Use only animal-based ingredients to keep it fully carnivore.

- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently on low.
š½ļøĀ Servings
