Zero carbs: ideal for maintaining ketosis
High-quality complete protein (~25g/100g) supports muscle maintenance
Excellent fat profile (rich in monounsaturated fat and stearic acid) for sustained energy
Highly satiating: protein + fat curb hunger and cravings
Nutrient-dense: heme iron, zinc, B12, niacin, choline, and creatine
Pairs well with keto fats (butter/ghee/tallow) to reach macro targets

Heme iron and B12 support red blood cell formation and energy metabolism
Zinc contributes to immune function and wound healing
Provides creatine and carnosine for muscle performance and buffering
Contains oleic acid (MUFA) and stearic acid; favorable fatty acids in balanced diets
Naturally carb-free, helping stabilize post-meal blood glucose
Small amounts of CLA occur naturally in beef fat (varies by feed)

Season generously with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot cast-iron skillet with butter 4–5 minutes per side (medium-rare). Rest 5 minutes.

Roast at 250–275°F to ~115°F internal, then sear 1–2 minutes per side in a very hot skillet for a deep crust.

During the final minutes, baste with butter, crushed garlic, and thyme/rosemary for a steakhouse finish.

Grill over high heat 4–5 minutes per side; finish with a pat of butter and cracked pepper.

Slice and spoon over fresh chimichurri (parsley, garlic, olive oil, vinegar) for bright, herbaceous balance.
