Carnivore Diet Beef Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for more fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
- 2 tbsp beef tallow or butter (for moisture)
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
- 1 tbsp beef gelatin (optional, for better texture)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a small loaf pan (around 9×5 inches) with beef tallow or butter, or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Beef Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, heavy cream (if using), and beef tallow or butter.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and any other optional seasonings or cheese, and mix until everything is well incorporated. If you want a firmer texture, add the beef gelatin to help bind the ingredients together.
- Form the “Bread”:
- Transfer the beef mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly to ensure the mixture is compact.
- Smooth the top with a spatula or spoon to create a uniform surface.
- Bake:
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
- If desired, you can broil the top for an additional 2-3 minutes to get a crispy, browned crust.
- Cool and Slice:
- Allow the beef bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing it and slicing.
- Slice into thick pieces and enjoy as a savory “bread” alternative. It pairs wonderfully with eggs, meats, or even as a sandwich substitute.
