PKD-Style Carnivore Burgers — perfect for those following a Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD) or a strict carnivore way of eating.
🍔 PKD-Style Carnivore Burgers (Organ-Meat Based)
These burgers use a blend of high-fat muscle meat and organ meats, ideal for healing, satiety, and energy.
🧾 Ingredients:
-
500g (1.1 lb) fatty ground beef (80/20 or higher fat ratio — suet or brisket ground is ideal)
-
100g (3.5 oz) beef liver, finely chopped or ground
-
50g (1.75 oz) beef kidney or heart (optional, also finely chopped)
-
1 tsp sea salt (like Celtic or Redmond Real Salt)
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, omit if strict PKD)
-
Beef tallow or duck fat for frying
🔪 Instructions:
1️⃣ Mix the Meat:
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, liver, kidney/heart (if using), and salt. Mix gently — don’t overwork it.
2️⃣ Form the Patties:
Divide mixture into 3–4 thick burger patties. Press gently into shape — these will be rich and juicy.
3️⃣ Cook the Burgers:
Heat beef tallow or duck fat in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Sear the burgers for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness (rare to medium-rare is traditional for PKD).
4️⃣ Rest and Serve:
Let the burgers rest for 5 minutes. Serve plain or with fried eggs, bone marrow, or crispy beef fat chips.
🥩 Optional Add-Ons (PKD-Compliant):
-
Pan-seared beef brain or marrow as a topping
-
Soft-poached egg yolks for extra fat
-
Crispy beef fat trimmings on the side
-
Light sprinkle of herbs like rosemary (if tolerated)
