Ingredients For Carnivore Chuck Roast

Essential Ingredients for Carnivore Chuck Roast Recipe

  • 3-4 lbs chuck roast (preferably grass-fed for maximum flavor)
  • 2 tbsp beef tallow or butter (for extra richness)
  • 1 tbsp sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (optional for non-strict carnivore)
  • 1 cup beef bone broth (enhances tenderness and infuses the meat with deeper flavor)
  • Optional: Garlic powder or dried herbs (if you want a slightly seasoned touch but still keep it carnivore-friendly)

Pro-Tips for the Perfect Roast

  • Room Temperature Meat: Let the chuck roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a Heavy-Duty Pan: A cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven retains heat best for a perfect sear.
  • Low and Slow Cooking: Cooking at a low temperature for an extended time ensures melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
  • Rest Before Slicing: Allow the roast to rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to retain juices and enhance flavor.

How to Make Carnivore Chuck Roast?

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Season the Meat: Rub the chuck roast generously with sea salt. If using black pepper, sprinkle it over the surface.
  3. Sear for Maximum Flavor: Heat a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over high heat. Add beef tallow and sear the chuck roast for 3-4 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms.
  4. Deglaze and Braise: Pour in the beef bone broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits.
  5. Slow Roast to Perfection: Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, checking occasionally. The roast is done when it reaches fall-apart tenderness (internal temp of about 195-205°F).
  6. Rest & Serve: Remove from oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding.
  7. Enjoy! Serve with the natural juices or alongside a rich beef reduction sauce.
