Meat, Full Stop

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.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Dry-brine the night before

    Salt on the meat 12 hours before cooking pulls water out — better sear, deeper flavor.

  2. 2

    Room temp before searing

    A cold cut hits the pan and steams; 30 minutes out gets you crust.

  3. 3

    Cast iron or nothing

    Even heat and screaming temperature — nothing else builds a proper crust.

  4. 4

    Rest as long as you cooked

    A 10-minute steak wants a 10-minute rest — carve early and the juices dump.
