WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Zero carbs: ideal for ketosis with no tracking needed
  • High protein: ~27g/100g supports muscle maintenance and satiety
  • Lean cut: easy to customize fat intake with cooking fats or sauces
  • Iron-rich: typically higher iron than many common meats
  • Contains CLA and carnitine, which appear in ruminant meats
  • Versatile across curries, grills, roasts, and slow-cooks

BARBACOA-STYLE

Season with cumin, oregano, and chipotle; wrap and slow cook until shreddable for keto tacos (lettuce cups).

SIMPLE ROASTED LEG

Rub leg with garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper; roast at 325°F (163°C) to ~145°F (63°C). Rest, then slice.
