As I've mentioned numerous times here on Hive, I try to live a fairly strict carnivore lifestyle that includes eating only meat and meat byproducts such as eggs, cheese, butter, etc. My main plant-based "cheat" would be daily coffee. The first full year I was extremely strict with it for weight loss and health reasons, but over the last six months or so, I've added a few cheat meals here and there of sushi and a few other things that include things other than meat. I still do not cheat with sugars or breads as the inflammation from these for me is quite severe.
Today's prep consisted of ribeyes and I often joke that there is plenty of variety on the carnivore diet....bone-in ribeyes OR boneless lololol Honestly though, if you have a bit of culinary creativity you can explore a myriad of options when it comes to eating this way and with the food preparation. I am fortunate enough that I can literally eat ribeyes or other forms of beef every day and not have any issues with boredom for the most part.
Today was a failure routine prep of three bone-in ribeys and three boneless ribeyes. I found the bone-in ribeyes on sale about a week ago and bought enough to stuff my freezer with (I definitely need to invest in a chest freezer for sure...lol!). Each bone-in steak was about 1lb and the boneless ones were a bit smaller but had much, much better fat marbling (where the flavor comes from!). The prep for the steaks is extremely simple in that I marinate them for a short time in Dale's Steak seasoning and heaps of minced garlic (I am not strict at all on plant-based seasonings, as I don't see any negative effects, personally). Right before I put them on the grill, I add a generous coating of coarse black pepper and Montreal Steak Seasoning. I cook them extremely rare and then add a decent amount of coarse kosher salt before eating.
I recently learned a wonderful food hack while eating at a Korean BBQ place and now I only use kitchen shears to cut my meat. That's right, no more steak knives for me! It is much quicker and cleaner and clean up is pretty fast as well. For the steaks that will be eaten on following days, I go ahead and cut them up with the shears before packaging and refridgerating them in 1-meal containers. That way, I can just "grab and go" for my work lunches.
Although I mainly keep my prep and consumption fairly simple, today I was feeling a bit more creative than normal and decided to make a steak sauce for dipping. I took equal parts of a basic Japanese steak sauce and Siracha and then added about a tablespoon of garlic powder and 1/2 a teaspoon of coarse black pepper. I have to say it turned out amazing and I loved it! It was the perfect balance of sweet vs. heat and paired extremely well with the ribeye. Now, I'm sure the Japanese steak sauce probably had way too much sugar content, but I was really, really good!
Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post! How do you cook your steaks??? Let me know in the comments! Remember that I love you all and YOU deserve a ribeye today!!!

I myself was into culinary delights in the army...I've said too much...but your meat looks good....I mean the ribeyes you know what I'm sayin homie!
Anyway I was trying to get a gander on your grill was this some outside contraption or inside? I thought it was a smoker at first.
Korean hacks are the best hacks, learned so much from my time there.
Mrs. Hellbox doesn't know that I can really cook, I feign ignorance for my own protection.
Beef Bugolgi proper in Korea is hands down one of my favorites.
There is a variation (I can't remember the name I think it's Bugolgi Kimbap) where it's like sushi but they cook the meat first, wrap it up, serve it with rice, veggies and a hard fried egg on top.
I swear to god they season eggs so perfectly there.
Thanks for sharing broski.
I know it is not as authentic as you had, but there is a local Korean BBQ/Southern fusion place here that is phenomenal and usually where I do my cheat meals. I usually either do a Bugolgi or pork belly rice bowl!
You were mostly right....it is a side sear box attached to a Camp Chef pellet smoker. It is just so convenient, that I don't even own a regular grill anymore. But with the amount of meat I'm grilling, I may need to break down and get one.

Don't get me wrong homie, i wasn't knocking it, just makes me yearn for their food =) Im envious you have a local place that can provide the flavor =) Thanks for the big pimp salute my homie.
You must be killin' it out here!
@papacrusher just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @mrhellbox.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/2 possible people today.

sorry about the downvote.....but had to do it as millitant vegetarians....
rofl, i absolutely understand!
Dude, now I really want a nice, big, fat, juicy steak... and it's 10:15 am here, lol.
Carnivore diet, nice! I don't have any particular ailments, so it's all about balanced meals for me.
!CTP
10:15am is the perfect time for ribeye...so is 10:15pm or midnight....or noon lollolol
😂😂😂
!CTP
Papa, you know I love you too, we always get along really well and think the same about so many things. But when it comes to our diet, we are almost diametrically opposed. LOL!
Okay, I'll admit your ribeyes look amazingly tasty. And the way you seasoned them sounds good. But I won't go any further than that...
Time for me to once again throw a tasty vegetarian dish against all that meat violence on the blockchain.
someone has to balance me out! lolol Few people I admire as much as you on or off of blockchain....even with your diet! lolol
That's interesting. Did you get any inflammation from vegetables and/or fruit as well? Or just sugars from carbs etc.?
So do you eat NO vegetables or fruits at all?
I've heard of carnivore diets but most people I know that have it, aren't 100% carnivore, they'll have a salad and fruit haha.
For me it's the wheat based products, like bread (not sourdough though) and pasta that is killer + rice, and I don't handle meat very well, so I quit that. Especially pork. It gives me hives! And not the good kind haha.
So I'm quite the opposite: full plant based normally, with sometimes eggs and butter.
I can't stand dairy so that's a big no for me too.
Yes, I get pretty severe inflammation from almost everything that is not meat-based. however certain veggies have less problems than others such as cucumbers and squash with the seeds removed.
the only constant plant-based item in my daily life is coffee....well because coffee right! lolol
I've lost 155lbs in about a year and a half and i've come off all my meds. my eczema is completely gone and i no longer snore lolol
it is definitely not for everyone, but it has been a miracle for me.
since january of this year, i have added a "cheat" meal here and there and it is usually sushi, but i can feel the inflammation from the rice before i go to bed that night....it is crazy lolol
Ok I just saw your post via listnerds and I must admit, I thought it was a joke.
I think you are the only one on the Carnivore Diet here on HIVE, plenty of vegans, but only one of you.
Rib-eye is most def my favorite cut of meat. I prefer it with the bone in.
Best of luck with your continued carnivore diet, and may you keep feeling better every day.
there are a couple of us, but we are definitely in the minority lolol
ribeye and pork belly are the top two for me for sure. i didn't have a preference with bone-in or out, but recently i feel the bone-in is much more flavorful.
thanks for commenting!
These steaks look amazing. That Japanese Barbecue Sauce though is the Best absolutely delicious.
i adore the japanese and korean bbq sauces.....they really make a meal special! thanks for commenting.
Those look absolutely amazing! I don't know as though I have ever grilled a ribeye before. I used to get porterhouses all the time, but now I typically just stick with New York Strips. I saw some ribeyes last time I was at Costco, but the price was higher than I wanted to spend at the time. Came here via listnerds.
thanks for stopping by, bozz! My go to is ribeye, but I just found porterhouses on sale last week and loaded up!
Can't blame you for that. I am going to have to get some ribeye's sometime. I'd really like to find something that is super flavorful and tender.
You may already know this but for the price, you can't beat chuck eye for the flavor profile and tenderness. To me, it is almost identical in taste to ribeye and only very slightly less tender. Usually about $4-5 cheaper.
Interesting. I will keep an eye out for that next time I am in the butcher shop or Costco. I have a $50 gift certificate to one of our local butchers that I have been waiting for summer to use.
