I’m 66 and I eat a rib eye steak everyday for lunch. I’m 5’2” and wear a size 6P. I’ve lost almost 30 lbs in about 5 months. Most important I haven’t had bad indigestion or vomiting since I started. I’m off all meds and never had more energy or been more clear minded. THANKS!
Suzanne - is that basically all you eat? I’m about your height and need to drop about 30lbs. I have been a flawed carnivore for awhile and need to dial things in, so I’m looking to settle in on a simple menu out of several options.
@@Texasdonna hi, no I only mentioned rib eye cuz that’s what Dr. Baker was cooking. For breakfast I usually have 1 or 2 75/25 beef burger patties with 2 fried (in lots of butter) pasture raised organic eggs with a slice of real cheese. I try to fast for about 15 to 18 hours most days. To change things up I love shell fish and turkey or chicken. I hope this helps you and wish success!
There is just something about the idea that steak never gets old (as long as it is a good steak.) I get tired of eggs if I eat them too often. I get tired of chicken if I eat it too often. I never get tired of steak.
@@lucasgrey9794 Chicken is the least nutritious and on average least sanitary meat available. It's basically garbage compared to beef and should not be eaten regularly. If you are gonna eat it, then you should cook the entire chicken to extract nutrients from bone and other tough tissue.
I finally went carnivore after 3 years keto. I can't believe I waited so long. It was already happening naturally I was just hung up on that brainwashed belief that I needed vegetables. Anyways...it took very little time to realize that I can no longer stand the taste of chicken or pork. The fat on them tastes awful to me. Literally. I go without when I cook it for my family. A fatty ribeye cooked hot n fast with just salt is all I crave now. Its just amazing that it is all I eat now. Also...the 100 lbs I dropped on keto left my skin hanging. Just these 3 months carnivore that skin is actually shrinking. Noticeably shrinking! Who'd a thunk it? Its just amazing. ❤
First I dry brine overnight - this gets the salt really deep into the steak. Then, I do sous vide for 2 hours at 130F, then finish in a carbon steel skillet with bacon grease. I sear for one minute per side until I'm happy with the crust and depending on the thickness of the steak. Finally rest on a warm plate in a turned off oven for 5 minutes. This gives me a steak that's just past rare, perfect for me.
yeah, sounds good..... i tried the dry brine thing...with a modification...i saw Guga's vid about overdoing it, so i did 2 days in a normal bag in the fridge ( after a day dry brine...i wanted to do my steaks for the whole week in advance ).....then sous vide, then sear...tender as heck...no problem....but slightly less tasty, gotta say....i tried some cold, and reheated, both taste equally great...salt only Guga recommends 24Hr max dry brine....
Ugh! Now I’m hungry! Although I can’t afford a delicious steak, I’m quite content being carnivore by just eating, ground beef, eggs, bacon and butter. And, I feel amazing! 1 year carnivore, Aug 1st.
Idk if this helps but chuck roast, the first 4 inches or so on the eye end is broke at the 7th rib, right next to the ribeye. The thick fat vein in the center is the rib end of the chuck unless they fully process it out. Chuck eye is the poor man’s ribeye and western or Denver is in the transition as well.
I have a well established 1856 ranching family close by, they grass feed and finish, have raw dairy, I have two great grandson’s under 5, they deliver on Tuesday’s for $5, it doesn’t get better than this.
I love your backyard view! Love nature and that looks so peaceful! Love it! Love the wood deck/ back porch. You should sand down the blue grey wooden slats on sides and stain it all brown like the roof and floor! Would be gorgeous!
Greetings from Finland Dr.Baker, you are absolutely an inspiration and showing the way for a lot of people by your own actions and state of health, ive been on keto/carnivore for about 3months now and my health and mental wellness is better than its ever been, mostly eating meat but occasionally eat some fermented pickles,olives and goats cheese on the side but no carbs whatsoever. Im hoping im gonna maintain my health and enjoy my life for as long as possible as you have. Much thanks!
Dr. Baker that steak turned out perfect! Your dog may start doing your happy dance to earn some steak! Haha😂 That hair cut is spot on perfect for your look! Spiffy! You need to keep up that hairdo from now on! Everyone has their own unique perfect look, and that one is yours! ☺️👌🏻
I cook mine on a cast iron griddle - heat it up until it starts smoking then put the rib-eye (dried with kitchen roll) straight on it - comes out perfectly with nice brown lines on it. I then use the same Malvern, flaky salt on top once on the plate. Lovely 😋😋😋
Nice place , beautiful.. I love your refrigerator . You have your cooking process dialed in , good thing I have already eaten dinner or I would be drooling . Rib eye fat is soooooo good I go for it first .. thanks for sharing .
Ive been hard carnivore for 5 months now. Results are just unbelievable! Im 61 and purchased a similar grill on Amazon. Love it. Sears the outside and leaves the inside blue rare. I have an air fryer too but prefer the grill.
Oh my! I haven't had a ribeye steak in ages. I hope i can afford one some day soon. My carnivore diet consists of egg, canned tuna and hamburger and a bit of chicken thigh. I'm 67. I've been hoping this is healthy enough as a carnivore.
You can absolutely find delicious, cheaper steaks. Or maybe consider buying the entire rib and slice em yourself. Their only about 9$-10$ per steak that way! Ive also found some nice selections in the price range of $15-22$. I never buy steak if its like $30+ is just too much for a steak haha. But yea you can definitely have steak, just go fishing around and check the prices, there is a range of prices.
one last note, As a Carnivore I think it is fun to have and use a special knife like you have in this video- I use the Huusk! I love it. I have and use a top quality cutting board like yours but mine is made of a purple wood that is expensive and rare I am told- my cutting board was 250.00. but the best I have owned and will be a heirloom. just something really nice about using a good super sharp carbon knife to cut your juicy steak. Your knife cut that steak like butter!!! sharp! nice!!!!
You're a very genuine person and I appreciate that. I had bought your book when you originally published it. Thanks for the efforts. As for the steak, I just had a reverse seared entrecote with some salt and pepper. Slice of butter on the side.
Nicely done steaks!! I let mine get to room temp, salt them at least an hour before I cook them so the salt gets absorbed. then I sear mine in my cast iron pan for a few Min a side, comes perfect.
Any opinion on grass fed beef and grain fed ? I see the Colorado craft place you spoke of say they use grains ? We are lucky here in New Zealand as never seen a farm that uses grain on beef. Your steaks look great and when you spoke of your dog early on, it’s the first time l have actually seen a proper smile on your face. You must love that pooch. Great video thanks Doc
I believe he prefers the taste of grain fed - as many do, and isn’t convinced that there are significant enough, to make a real difference between grass fed and grain fed, in terms of health. Plus grain fed is often fattier and most of us carnivores need the extra fat.
Well, I found a great source of Grass Fed Grass Finished Cracker Beef in Arcadia, Florida. It has been very healing. I also bought just under 20 lbs of Beef Suet(fat) and cook that off for my fat. The meat is delicious. It is different because of the low fat content. I add in the rendered fat to my ground meat that comes in just over 1 lb per package frozen. Great shipping. I will be buying more of the 9% beef heart, 9% liver and the rest is ground beef. They call that Ancestral Blend. It has a unique flavor. I will be buying 1/2 an animal. $1260. About 125 lbs. Very pleased with Grove Ladder Farm LLC. I cook on stainless steel in the fat and eat everything. Thanks Shawn!
Also he didnt give dogs any.. Maybe he has them all vaxxed up eating fake meat dog food expecting them to live up to the official BS lifespan of around 10-13 years.
I usually cook my steaks by letting them warm up to almost room temp then sear on the green egg . The grill you have would be easier to dial in temp, time , thickness etc and sou vide in my opinion would be a definite improvement. I think I will try that myself.
@@bobbilow2038 Use BPA free bags or silicone. If you are worried about plastic chemicals. And all you need to do is try it once. Also. You can always save the juice for a sauce. I sou vide cheaper cuts like chuck roast at 125* for 24 hours then sear it on the grill. It comes out tender like prime rib. and edge to edge medium rare. No grey area on each side and much shorter grill time.
Awesome way to cook steak. I get most of my steaks from local grocery store or Walmart. They all seemed to have good fat on them, but I don't seem to be able to cook the fat well enough. I use a gas grill, but I just got a two burner Blackstone that I'm looking forward to using.
I have a Swank grill like the one Shawn has and it works amazing. I recently bought a black stone also more for cooking burgers and other things on. But it does do a good job on steaks as well. Just make sure you get it good and hot before throwing them on the grill. And don't be afraid to pat them dry before cooking. Good luck!
Reverse sear on the Weber with some post oak chunks for smoke absolutely amazing and I throw the chunks into the charcoal tray when it's time to sear and man does it throw some absolutely serious flames
One of these days I'm going to get a better cooker. For now I switched from cooking steak on a cast iron skillet to an air fryer. Followed an idea from Kelly Hogan and used her air fryer suggestion and has served me well for many months now. I really need to find a local farmer/butcher and get some local stuff...hopefully a little cheaper.
My son is always under my feet in the kitchen cooking his steak in a frypan. I'm going to get him one of those cookers. Thankyou for your video your back yard is amazing
In my area the going price for ribeye is $16 to $20 per pound and upwards of $40 per pound if I shop at the boutique butcher shops that sale grass-fed and grass-finished ribeye! So my dog has to settle for eating only Alpo. Also, the last time I heard on the U.S. Farm Bureau report ....beef prices are projected to rise by 17% nation wide by the end of this Summer......I may have to settle for eating Alpo along with the dog at those prices!
You know you nailed cooking a great steak when you dance around while eating it. You gotta try bison ribeyes and ny strip steaks. Leaner, but has a mildly sweet and beefy taste.
My gf is from Argentina, so she knows a thing or two about bbq. She taught me to flip the steak when the blood is coming out through the top. Then you finish it on the other side the way you like it (rare / medium / shoe sole). Very easy and always works.
I currently using sous vide at 121F for 2 hours.. I then finish using a caste iron super heated pan. About 1 min a side.. the center is a real deep pink, juicy etc. I salt in the sous vide bag and salt integrates into the meat and don't detect any issues.. I've also cooked steaks without salt in sous vide, seer it and salt after finished the seer at the table but feel at this time some preference in the first method of salting during the sous vide. I have tried variations to the seer using two pots.. same basic method but with the addition of butter basting at different temperature in a different pan ..sous vide makes it so easy to cook ...and one just focuses on the aeer at the end ..time actually preparing the steak as you say is a few mins.. I've also smoked steaks for an hour, cooked in sous vide to bring to temp, and then complete with seer. ...all tools in the tool box ..a steak a day keeps the bone saw on a diabetic limb 🦵 away 😮😅
seer on pan for 5-10 minutes with butter and salt, throw in oven at 185-235 for 30 minutes it's not hard people, you'll start getting the flow down make sure you seer every side, that seering will cook the salt into the fat and give the steak a lot of flavor internal temp: 120 I think is medium rare, 130 medium 145 medium well done
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the financial instability all over the world, I’m so excited I’ve been earning $65,000 from my $10,000 investment every 10days...*
I don’t have a grill. Not allowed in our building. I like to sear on the stovetop and then bake at either a low temp, 250F, if it’s a tougher steak like chuck, or a higher temp., like 400F for a sirloin, for example. I can use an oven probe or instant read thermometer to test doneness.
I love ribeye's, but hard to find a good one. I eat a lot of new York strip steaks and usually one a day. I'm 72 and have watched my blood pressure drop to normal, prostate swelling greatly reduced and arthritis disappear. Love this diet.
Maldon sea salt - my favourite! Steaks look delicious! I think dogs enjoy the smells more than taste since they devour food so quickly. It's probably a great pleasure for a dog just to smell meat being cooked... lol
Kind of sad that you can’t get any decent cuts for less than $9/lb these days, except for roast at $7 or something. Shame I can’t really stomach pork. It’s cheaper.
I don’t know if there’s a setting on your end, but since the dawn of time your videos are always so quiet, and I always have my phone turned up all the way. Is that something that can be looked into? I have read other comments, saying the same thing. Love, love your videos, and I hope to be able to listen to this one in a very quiet room, lol
@@Max-cd8fm here is a suggestion for you... there are basically two types of people... 1) those who are looking for solutions/solve problems.. and 2) those who are looking for problems(obstacles, excuses) and then complain...🤔 which one are you? 😲🤷♂️ hope that helps you in your quest.. 👍💪
