Steak Bites Recipe

by

These Garlic Butter Steak Bites are quick and easy to make – and they vanish fast! Serve them as finger food on appetizer night, as part of your game day spread or as part of a fun family dinner date.

Steak bites are especially fun for the kids. I know it’s a recipe mostly served as an appetizer (Super Bowl! or any Game Day party!) , but we don’t mind them as a regular meal at all.

They are quick and easy to whip up, and turn out so tender.

Ingredients

  • ▢ 2 pounds steak cut into bites
  • ▢ salt and ground black pepper to taste (season on the generous side)
  • ▢ 1 tablespoon oil
  • ▢ 4 tablespoons butter
  • ▢ 2 cloves garlic or more to taste
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons chopped parsleyoptional for serving

Instructions

  • Prep steak: Remove steak from fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Unwrap, cut into cubes (see notes at bottom of recipe for size recommendation) and season with salt and pepper. Let sit on plate on counter for 30 minutes. (For best results, do not skip this step.)2 pounds steak, salt and ground black pepper
  • Sear steak: Once ready, heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add oil, then sear steak for around 2 minutes per side, until a nice, browned crust forms but middle stays tender. Work in batches if needed, do not overcrowd pan! Set seared steak bites aside on a plate and tent with foil.1 tablespoon oil
  • Make garlic butter: Once steak is done and set aside on a plate, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to empty skillet. Heat about 2 minutes, until garlic is fragrant. Take off the heat.4 tablespoons butter, 2 cloves garlic
  • Finish: Add steak to skillet with garlic butter. Toss to coat. Serve immediately with chopped parsley, if desired.2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Notes

Steak: Use any tender, boneless cut of steak, cut into cubes. Sirloin steak, strip steak or ribeye all work. You can use beef tenderloin/fillet if you want them extra-tender and special.

Parsley: Totally optional, but highly recommended by my entire family, save the picky 5 year old who thinks the green bits are a waste of space ?

Bite size: You can really cut these as large or as bite-sized as you like. Smaller bites cook more quickly and are more done, larger “bites” stay more tender and have a more medium middle.

I cut mine just under 1 inch, and cooked them for around 2 minutes per side, plus some extra tossing around for 30 seconds to get the edges charred.

Searing time: 4 minutes yielded just under 1-inch bites with a medium-done middle. If you want yours more rare, stick to 1-inch cubes and go with a short and blazing hot sear.

For more done bites, sear them a little longer on medium-high heat instead; and/or cut them smaller. Just make sure you don’t overcook them, or they may turn out chewy.

Carnivore Sausage Gravy

by

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) ground pork sausage (choose a fattier sausage for best flavor)

  • 4 ounces (½ block) cream cheese, cut into cubes

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • Salt and black pepper to taste (optional — sausage often has enough salt)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the sausage:

    • Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

    • Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes).

    • Drain excess grease if desired, but leaving some fat will add flavor.

  2. Add cream cheese:

    • Reduce heat to low.

    • Add the cream cheese cubes directly into the skillet with the sausage.

    • Stir gently and continuously to soften and melt the cream cheese, combining it fully with the sausage.

  3. Add heavy cream:

    • Pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.

    • Stir well to combine everything into a creamy mixture.

  4. Simmer and thicken:

    • Keep the heat low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-8 minutes).

    • If it gets too thick, you can add a little more cream or water to loosen it.

  5. Season:

    • Taste the gravy and add salt and pepper if needed (usually the sausage has enough salt).

  6. Serve:

    • Serve hot over cooked eggs, steak, or as a dipping sauce for carnivore bread or pork rinds.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, you can use breakfast sausage with herbs and spices, or keep it plain for a pure carnivore experience.

  • Keep the heat low after adding cream cheese and cream to avoid curdling.

  • This gravy is great for meal prep and stores well in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Oven-Baked Cabbage Burger

by

The other night, I prepared these cabbage burgers, and they were a huge hit! Delicious, cheesy, oven-roasted delight that fits perfectly into a low-carb or keto lifestyle—without the buns or the guilt. This is how I went about it:

🛒 What You’ll Need:

  • 1 medium green cabbage (cut into thick slices,0ne inch)

  • 1 lb lean ground beef

  • ½ cup tomato sauce/sugar-free ketchup

  • ½ cup shredded cheese

  • ½ tsp salt & black pepper

  • ½ tsp red chili flakes (for a little kick)

  • ONE tsp grated garlic

  • ½ cup chopped green onions

  • ½ cup fresh chopped parsley

👨‍🍳 How to Make Them:

Step 1: Prep
Set your oven’s temperature to 400°F, or around 200°C, first. Arrange the pieces of cabbage on a baking sheet (if you like less cleanup, use parchment paper). Drizzle them with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. To slightly soften them, roast them in the oven for ten minutes. They cook more evenly with the meat later on thanks to this process.

Step 2: Beef Mixture
Take out a large mixing dish and start roasting your cabbage. Grated garlic, chopped green onion, parsley, chili flakes, salt, pepper, half of the shredded cheese, and ground meat should all be added. Combine the ingredients and form into four burger patties.

Step 3: Assemble
Remove from the oven the cabbage. Spread a dollop of tomato sauce over each slice. Place a beef burger directly on top of it after adding a little cheese. Add a final little grating of cheese on top of the meat.

Step 4: Bake
Place the tray back in the oven and continue baking for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbling and the beef is cooked through. If you want that cheesy crust, you can broil it for the final one to two minutes.

Step 5: Serve
Remove them, garnish with more parsley if you want to be fancy, and serve hot. They taste fantastic by themselves or served with cauliflower mash or a side of salad.

Oven-Baked Cabbage Burger

💡 Bonus Tip:

Feel free to add hot sauce or jalapeños to the meat mixture if you prefer your burgers hotter. If you don’t like beef, you can also use ground chicken or turkey.
