Step-by-Step Instructions for Carnivore Surf and Turf

Take your steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your favorite cut) out of the fridge and let it chill out at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook more evenly and not freak out when it hits the heat.

Grab a skillet or grill pan and crank it up to medium-high heat. Toss in 1 tablespoon of butter or tallow and let it melt into a sizzling pool of deliciousness.

Place your well-rested steak in the hot skillet and cook for about 3—4 minutes on each side for that perfect medium-rare.

Adjust the time if you like your steak more or less done. You’re the boss here!

Sprinkle some unrefined sea salt to taste on your steak, then remove it from the skillet.

Let it rest on a plate…

…loosely covered with foil, while you get the shrimp party started.

In the same skillet, add another 1 tablespoon of butter or tallow and let it melt.

Toss in 8 oz (230 g) of large, peeled, and deveined shrimp. Cook the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn a lovely shade of pink and are just cooked through.

Season with a pinch of unrefined sea salt to taste.

Place your beautifully cooked steak on a plate and arrange the shrimp on top or beside it. Presentation is key, even if it’s just for you! Top tip: Pour any remaining butter from the skillet over the steak and shrimp for that extra hit of flavor. Don’t skimp on this step—it’s what dreams are made of.

Serve immediately and bask in the glory of your culinary creation. Enjoy every bite of your delicious carnivore meal!

How I Came Up with This Easy Carnivore Dinner Recipe

So, picture this: I’m in Glasgow, Scotland, of all places, and I stumble upon this steakhouse that serves the most divine ribeye steak I’ve ever tasted in my life. Now, ribeye has never been my go-to cut—I was more of a ground beef and slow-cooked cuts kind of person. But this ribeye? It was a life-changing experience. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to absolute perfection. I was hooked.

Fast forward to my return home to Finland, and I couldn’t get that ribeye out of my head. I decided I had to recreate that heavenly experience in my own kitchen. But why stop at just the steak? As I was daydreaming about my culinary adventure, the idea of surf and turf popped into my mind. I mean, why not combine the best of both worlds?

So, I set out on a mission to find the best ribeye I could get my hands on and some gigantic shrimp—no small feat in Finland, where shrimp of that size are practically mythical creatures. Armed with these prized ingredients, I decided to keep things simple and let the flavors shine. Just butter, salt, and a skillet were all I needed.

I cooked the ribeye to perfection, just like that magical steak in Glasgow, and then added the shrimp, letting them sizzle in the buttery goodness. The result? The most nourishing and divine meal I’ve ever created. It was a carnivore’s dream come true, and I knew I had to share this recipe with the world.

So there you have it—the story of how a ribeye epiphany in Glasgow led to the creation of my Carnivore Surf and Turf. I bet that once you try it, you’ll be hooked, too!

Here’s the recipe for you to enjoy:

Tips for Variations

If you’re open to adding a bit of extra flair to your carnivore diet, spices and herbs can elevate your Carnivore Surf and Turf to new heights. Here are some seasoning suggestions to enhance the natural flavors of your steak and shrimp, making your meal even more delicious and satisfying.

1. Garlic Lover’s Delight: Add crushed garlic to the butter while cooking the steak and shrimp. The aromatic garlic will infuse the meat with mouthwatering flavor that’s simply irresistible.

2. Herb Infusion: Add some dried herbs like oregano, rosemary, or thyme to the butter before you cook the steak and shrimp. These herbs add a fragrant touch that complements the natural flavors of the meat and seafood.

3. Citrus Zing: Squeeze a bit of fresh organic lemon or lime juice over the shrimp just before serving. The citrusy burst will brighten up the dish and add a refreshing contrast to the rich, buttery flavors.

4. Spice It Up: If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper or a dash of Louisiana Hot Sauce over the shrimp. This will give your Carnivore Surf and Turf a spicy kick that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds.

5. Smoky Sensation: Use smoked sea salt instead of regular sea salt for a subtle smoky flavor that enhances the steak and shrimp. You can also add a pinch of smoked paprika to bring on even more smoky flavors. It’s like adding a touch of barbecue magic without firing up the grill.

6. Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle some grated Parmesan or crumbled blue cheese over the steak and shrimp just before serving. The cheese will melt slightly and add a creamy, tangy element to the dish.

7. Fresh Finish: Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil. These herbs add a pop of color and a burst of freshness that perfectly balances the richness of the steak and shrimp.

Experiment with these seasoning tips to make your Carnivore Surf and Turf uniquely yours. Enjoy the delicious journey!

Remember last week when I mentioned my little showdown with the local food safety authority? They threatened me with a €15,000 fine if I didn’t remove the text on my Finnish site where I shared my miraculous keto diet healing journey. Well, I did remove it… and replaced it with an even more detailed text that another local authority had approved a few years ago!

I can just imagine the faces at the local authority office: initially relieved that I had complied, only to be horrified when they realized I had outsmarted them with an even more comprehensive version that had already passed official scrutiny. So far, radio silence from them—no feedback, no follow-up. It’s like waiting for the next episode of a cliffhanger series.

In other news, I launched three new flavors of my revolutionary beef jerky product, Meat Disc®: chili, garlic, and pizza-flavored. They flew off the shelves faster than you can say “delicious snack,” so I’m thrilled to have ordered more high-quality beef for next week to keep up with the demand. It’s been a wild week, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
