Looking for the perfect sauce to elevate your steak? This carnivore steak sauce is exactly what you need. Rich, creamy, and full of flavor, it transforms any cut of meat into something special.

I spent a long time trying different steak sauce recipes, but most of them contained plant based ingredients that didn’t fit the carnivore lifestyle. That’s when I decided to create my own carnivore friendly version.

The combination of brown butter and cream cheese creates a smooth, velvety texture that coats your steak perfectly.

The truffle salt adds a subtle, fancy touch without making things complicated. And the beef broth brings everything together, adding depth and that classic meaty taste.

This sauce takes less than 10 minutes to make, and you only need 4 main ingredients. Store it in your fridge, and you’ll always have a delicious topping ready for your steaks. No more dry or boring meat dishes!

👍 Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Brown Butter Magic: The recipe uses browned butter, which creates an amazing nutty, deep flavor that regular melted butter just can’t match.

When you cook the butter until it gets golden brown, it develops these rich caramel notes that make the sauce taste way more complex and interesting than you’d expect from just a few ingredients.

Perfect Texture: The combination of cream cheese and brown butter creates a sauce that’s thick enough to coat your steak beautifully but not so heavy that it feels like gravy.

It clings to the meat just right, making every bite perfectly sauced without running all over your plate.

Minimal Ingredients: You only need four main ingredients to make this sauce. No long shopping lists or special trips to fancy stores.

Just butter, cream cheese, truffle salt, and beef broth – things that most carnivore dieters already have in their kitchen or can easily find at any regular grocery store.

✨ Recipe Ingredients

7oz Butter
1 block of Cream Cheese

👨‍🍳 How To Make

Follow these steps to make the best carnivore steak sauce:

Place the cream cheese and truffle salt into a blender.

Step 3

Pour the brown butter and beef broth into the blender.

Step 4

Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Pour the sauce into a jar and use it to top steaks. Enjoy!

💡Tips

1. Watch Your Butter

Browning butter is important for this sauce’s flavor, but it can go from perfect to burnt in seconds. Keep the heat on medium and whisk constantly.

The butter will go through stages – first it melts, then gets foamy, and finally starts turning golden brown with little brown bits at the bottom. You want it to be the color of caramel, not dark chocolate.

If you see black specks, it’s gone too far. A light colored pot helps you see the color changes better than a dark one. The whole process usually takes about 5-7 minutes, depending on your stove.

2. The Perfect Consistency

The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still be pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more warm beef broth, one tablespoon at a time, while blending.

If it’s too thin, add small pieces of room temperature cream cheese while blending until you reach the desired thickness. Remember, it will thicken more as it cools.

FAQ

What if I can’t find truffle salt?

Regular sea salt will work, but you’ll miss out on that special truffle flavor. If you want to keep that fancy taste, you could use regular salt plus a tiny drop of truffle oil (if you’re not strict carnivore).

Another option is to use smoked salt, which adds a different but equally interesting flavor.

Can I use salted butter?

Yes, you can use salted butter, but you’ll need to adjust the amount of truffle salt you add later. Start with half the amount of truffle salt called for in the recipe, then taste and add more if needed.
