Open in Pepper →The carnivore diet strips dinner to its simplest form — a hot pan, a piece of meat, and salt. That's it, and it's harder to nail than it sounds.
Cooks on Pepper use this collection because every recipe is strictly animal-protein (meat, fish, eggs, dairy) with zero grains, legumes, or added sugar.
Every recipe here focuses on getting the sear, the smoke, or the render exactly right — because when meat is the whole plate, technique is everything.
Dry-brine the night before
Salt on the meat 12 hours before cooking pulls water out — better sear, deeper flavor.
Room temp before searing
A cold cut hits the pan and steams; 30 minutes out gets you crust.
Cast iron or nothing
Even heat and screaming temperature — nothing else builds a proper crust.
Rest as long as you cooked
A 10-minute steak wants a 10-minute rest — carve early and the juices dump.
