One of the Best Carnivore Diet Recipes
Since releasingThe Carnivore Cookbook earlier this year, people often ask “What’s your favorite recipes for a carnivore diet”?
I immediately think of oven finished T-bones,butter-based eggs, and beef heart meatballs among others from my collection of100+ recipes exclusively featuring animal protein and fats. Finally, my mindsettles on one of the last recipes in the “Raw Meat, Organs and Bones” chapter:Organ Meat Quiche Cups.
Yes, that’s the one.
I love this simple recipe that eloquently combines muscle meat, heart, and liver in a one-pan 30-minute meal.
Quiche cups was the carnivore diet recipe that surprisedme the most by just how darn good they tasted!
I’m sharing the same recipe with you today. Only instead of baking in a muffin pan, I use a cast-iron skillet. If you don’t have a cast-iron, use a large pie plate instead.

Do you know how seriously amazing the benefits of organ meats are?

Your curiosity must be peaking after seeing our culinary adventures with beef heart, marrow bones, and brain. Heck, our kids even enjoy beef kidney. Something good must be going on here..
Maybe you’re not quite ready for
Beef heart is soft and tender, with a slightly sweet flavor. Very similar to sirloin in both taste and texture, the heart is a versatile part and can be seared, braised, pan-fried or ground into carnivore meatballs. Because it is so soft, heart is also eaten raw in tartare.
If you’re on the fence about beef heart, try my savory Beef Heart Meatza. Share it with your family, and I bet no one can tell there is
Carnivore Diet Breakfast
One of the biggest stumbling blocks on a carnivore diet is that people are afraid it will be boring.
Upon first glance, the carnivore food list might seem restrictive but once you see how many options there are, you may be surprised!
Once people feel the satiation, clear and calm mental state, increase in energy and other benefits associated with a carnivore diet, the positive feedback is a clear payoff for more elemental eating.
Most people are also surprised by the extent they legitimately enjoy eating fatty protein day in and day out. It’s simple, quick, and doesn’t require a lot of thought or prep. It might sound crazy to you right now but if you have the slightest interest, give it a try!
Furthermore, I made a 21-day carnivore meal plan with recipes and tips to make your experience easy and enjoyable.

Ground Organ Meat
It’s hard to make an organ meat pie without the organs, so you need to find a way to buy and grind them.
Buying liver is pretty easy now since, due to the high nutritional content, it is usually the first organ people try and therefore in growing demand.
The heart may be more difficult to find but it really depends on your specific area.
Get to know your butcher. They can be invaluable to your meat-centric journey. Not only can they tip you off to upcoming sales, but they will also know how to best prepare each cut of meat, and help source organs and other odd bits.
If they can’t or you don’t know who to ask, search your area for a grass-fed beef rancher atEatWild.com or use the resources in my post How to Find Quality Foods.
I usuallyask my butcher to grind liver and heart ahead of timebefore I bring it home.
If you can’t do this, it’s easy to dice and blend the liver and heart in a food processor or blender. Pure one at a time until completely ground up.
Buying the organs preground is not necessary but I do appreciate having it prepped and packaged for me, it’s one less step I need to do before cooking.
Shop online for grass-fed organ meats and beef
Online may be the best way for you to connect with the meats you want. If this is the case for you, I recommend US Wellness for grass-fed beef, lamb, and bison. Plus, they stock excellent nose-to-tail options, including a ready-made ground meat and organ mix that would be perfect for this recipe!

How much organ meat should I eat?
Eat organ meats as you please. Because everyone is coming from a different background, there is a range of frequency we will all have.
If you are new to this way of eating, it might be a big enough accomplishment to have something once a week. If you are already decently versed in the culinary delights of nose to tail eating, having offal a few times a week may be more appropriate.
There is no need to force or stuff yourself with these foods. Eat them as you please.
To make this pie more enticing for you, consider adding stronger flavors like garlic and onion, even hot sauce (assuming your digestive system doesn’t flare up!) todisguise the “organ” flavorof the liver – although that’s my favorite part!
If you areinterested in more flavorand know you tolerate certain herbs and spices well, add ½ tablespoon of your favorite seasoning or seasoning mix into the meat.
Another great option is this Braised Beef Heart Recipe (Slow Cook) for a savory organ meat experience.
