Zero Carb Recipe

I recently accepted a challenge with a co-worker to try a zero carb diet. Whether it be carnivore or fit into a protein-sparing modified fasting day, the goal was just to eat zero carbs. Always up for a challenge, I accepted and then had to scramble to find unique and different ways to create zero carb recipes so I wouldn't get bored and quit. After making PSMF Baked Cod with Prosciutto in my air fryer, I decided to see what else I could create.

You see, food has always been about the "exploration" of tastes as well as the "creation" of delicious-tasting keto recipes.

In reality, food should have these features every so often but we need also to recognize food as simply "fuel".

When it comes to cooking steak …the beloved air fryer has entered the chat, and the result is the ultimate juicy and flavorful steak bites. In just under 7 minutes, the extra hot air works its magic, giving your steak that has a totally gorgeous and lightly crispy char on the outside.

Air Fryer Carnivore Steak Bites Ingredients

These keto air fryer steak bites only require a couple of simple ingredients. If you want make this into a protein sparing modified fasting air fryer recipe, you simply need to make a few changes which are noted below.

• Beef - I like to use a boneless sirloin tip roast for making these air fryer carnivore steak bites. Not only is this choice of beef an economical choice, but it is also lower in fat and easier to slice into cubes than other choices.
• Bacon Fat - I also save the rendered fat from my bacon and I love the smokey flavour that the bacon fat gives to this zero carb recipe. However, you can use tallow, butter or olive oil (although olive oil is NOT considered part of a carnivore diet as it is plant-based). If you want this to be a PSMF air fryer steak recipe, then omit the bacon fat altogether.
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• Optional ingredients - If you are not following a strict carnivore diet, then add some chili powder, garlic, onion powder and a pinch of brown sugar substitute for the perfect keto air fryer steak bites.
