Tag: Steak basting

The carnivore diet is an animal-based eating plan that permits small amounts of certain dairy products like butter. So, can you cook steak in butter on a carnivore diet? Yes, you can, but choosing the right type of butter and applying proper techniques are key to maximizing both flavor and nutritional benefits.

According to nutritionists, basting with calorie-dense fats like butter or oil absolutely adds to the final caloric count of your steak, though often less than you might think. The important factor is not the amount of fat used, but the small percentage that is actually absorbed into the meat fibers. This process adds rich flavor while impacting total calories in a surprisingly minimal way.
