    Meat prices are rising and the question of "how can I afford to eat a carnivore diet" is one that often comes up. In this video, I break down some of the most versatile, budget-friendly cuts of meat, explain which "cheap cuts" I avoid, and then share some recipes for cooking. Hope it is helpful!

    You can take a tough piece of meat and "tenderize" it naturally by scoring it (horizontally and vertically, like a chess board) before searing it in a pan. The grid pattern is a natural "pre-chew" that makes the eating experience a lot better. It also makes it cook faster and more evently.
    You can also soak in COLD salty water for a few hours before you cook it. It is surprisingly effective.

      Make temporary friends with artificial sweeteners or just start using actual good sweeteners like Stevia or Monk Fruit. If anybody knows about depression, that's me. I get it. But, once you can substitute things and eventually just move on from it all-together, it makes all the difference in the world. My biggest foe is alcohol. I self-medicate with it. I'd do that with THC, but for whatever reason it makes my anxiety worse. If it didn't I'd never drink again. It is what it is, I guess. We all have our vices.

      Doing a ""strict" anything is just leading to failure. You gotta wean yourself off of these things. Do your best at first, but don't beat yourself up too much if you don't quite make it. I assure you, anything close to keto or carnivore is still way better than the SAD or Standard American Diet. Just do the best you can and slowly get off of the garbage. I'm still working on that. But still having results.

      Celebrate each hour you keep on track. Keeping busy and active helps.
      I focus on carnivore but if I need a cheat day, I eat keto or ketovore.
      Do I mess up? Yes. But I get back on with the next bite instead of beating myself up.

    I love stew meat and always get it when it's on sale. When I get it home I salt it liberally, and sometimes let it sit in the fridge salted for a day, and other times just throw it straight in the slow cooker with a lot of butter. It turns out really good.

  • @kenteaff1340
    @kenteaff1340 Před rokem +37

    Laura, maybe you could look at a process for tenderizing meat called "velveting." Basically, cover the meat with baking soda (thin layer), let it sit in the fridge for 2-3 hours, wash it off thouroughly and dry it. Melt in your mouth. It's how Chinese restaurants get their chicken and beef and pork so tender. Velveted stew meat or flank steak or bottom round is delicious and tender.

      @cobbler88 Před rokem +1

      IDK. There seem to be a lot of mixed messages here. All of these cuts of meat are fine if you know how to prepare them. At the same time, she seems to kind of ignore that even the cuts she likes have to be prepared in some fashion to be enjoyed. And pretty much every preparation - as a meal - is going to include non-carnivore elements. I think she's still leaning on preferences than some over-arching philosophy and not really taking preparation properly into account.
      Heck, even with the thinner, leaner cuts, is there something WRONG with stir-fry? There are carnivore recipes that will allow for zucchini, squash, etc., in a stir-fry.
      I think she may have it a little backward. At least, it seems to be the reverse of what I do. If I'm shopping on a budget - which is what this vid is about - you find the quality budget items then learn how to prepare them while still fitting them into your diet. You don't just keep your tastes cast in cement then wait for everything you like to go on sale. What she's putting out there seems overly choosy (and maybe not that creative, robbing herself of the fun from experimenting). If no one puts that fatty roast on sale - and you're actually on a budget - do you starve, because (God forbid) your only alternative is chicken breasts? 🤣
      Take care.

    My favorite way to prepare chuck roast, and by far the easiest thing I cook, is to salt it VERY liberally, maybe let it sit salted for a while, sometimes not, and then throw it in the slow cooker on high for 4 to 5 hours. That's literally it. No browning it first, no added liquid of any kind, as it will make plenty of its own, and not even butter. Just salt it extremely well, like more than you think you need, and maybe even a little more after that, and throw it in by its lonesome. Even my daughter loves it, and she's not carnivore, and doesn't really like meat much at all, but she loves my chuck roast. And I love that it's just so dang easy to make, while also being the best thing that I make, maybe even better than the occasional steak.

    @John_Conner222 Před rokem +7

    I have to disagree on the eggs. I tested the cheapest white shell eggs, then brown organic cage free eggs, and finally the most expensive the light blue heirloom eggs. As a guy eggs are THE most important food you can eat. They contain more nutrition than anything else and are on par with marrow and liver. They fix hormone issues and collagen issues with skin and hair. From cooking and eating all 3 types I noticed a significant difference in quality. The reason being is what they are feeding the birds. The white cheap eggs have a mcdonalds like feel and taste to them. You won't notice the difference unless you cook others and eat them. The yolk is bright yellow almost pale and has a more metallic taste sometimes and the egg white can be rubbery, stick to the pan and burn very easily. The organic eggs are slightly better. The yolk is a much darker yellow sometimes orange and the whites are much softer, easier, to cook, and the metallic taste is almost non-existent. With heirloom and local raised eggs the difference is MASSIVE over the other two, like not even in the same ballpark. The yolks are ORANGE and dark orange at that. The flavor and ease of cooking shoots way up and I noticed I felt fuller and better after eating them versus all the others. No metallic taste at all. I don't know what they are doing but I try to avoid the cheap eggs as there is an obvious health quality difference. It has to be the feed as normal chickens eat bugs and worms and other stuff whereas the other two are feed grains. Probably too much soy and nothing kills a mans testosterone faster and causes more health problems than that (well that and all the estrogen in tap water from all the birthcontrol not getting filtered out of urine).

      She isn't hung up on that, but she does seem to have a hang-up on learning how to prepare less expensive cuts of meat. I think experimenting with things that are always budget-friendly is part of the fun. If that fatty roast doesn't go on sale and there's nothing left but (God forbid!) chicken breasts, will she starve? 🤣

It looked amazing, like a med/rare tender juicy, fatty steak. He said it was better than rib eye and the only way to make chuck really tender!

    @delishme2 Před rokem +2

    You can use a technique on those cheaper cuts called "Velveting". Chinese kitchens use it when you get those very thin strips in dishes like garlic beef or chicken or sizzling beef etc. You slice very, very thinly, ( it's often easier to do this when meat has been in the freezer for an hour or so, frozen but not rock hard, add one or two teaspoons of bicarb soda, depending on quantity, to the strips and let them rest for 30 minutes. Rinse off and dry them in some paper towel, then they should stay ultra tender when you do a flash cook. 😊 They don't need long in a hot skillet.

    Great video, thanks! I appreciate the details on cooking chops from pork loin. I used to just roast the whole thing and it always came out barely edible--can you say dry? Now I can avail myself of the great sale prices and make these chops. YAY! As for eye of round, I started cooking these last year. I choose the ones that have a thick fat cap, roast them on a wedge rack (they are usually cut in a triangle shape) so the fat stays on top. Then refrigerate the roast overnight so it's easier to work with and slice it super thin with a very sharp knife. Homemade deli lunch meat. It's great to grab a few slices for a snack, or roll up with a slice of cheese inside and dip in sour cream, or spread a few slices with cream cheese, stack and cut them into wedges and eat as hors d'œuvres.

    I use eye of round and other lean cuts in a ‘stir fry’ method. Cut into strips, soak in a baking soda water solution for 20-25 minutes, rinse very well… hot pan with ghee, tallow, bacon fat…etc… it velvets the tough cut. I can’t say for sure if this is totally carnivore, as I’m moving slowly from keto to more carnivore, and in my present state, it works on my limited meat budget.

    I actually bought both top and bottom round cuts to make jerky but decided to eat some like steak. I used a manual meat tenderizer with spikes and tenderized until it was soft and cut it into thinner pieces and sliced it against the grain and cooked it in butter just in a non stick pan and the first time it was as tender as fillet mignon. The second time ended up being way too tender and you don’t have to just braise tough meats to get them soft. You can do sous vide cooking, slow cooking and pressure cooking.

    Hi Laura, I wanted to share a recipe of something I have been makin'. I'm on an OMAD and STRICTLY carnivore with Monday all day fasting! It's a 3 day - "seafood casserole" kind of creation. Consists of a can of Albacore tuna in spring water, a can of sardines - wild caught in water and a vacuum packed large piece of wild caught alaskan salmon (coho or sockeye) from Trader Joes, all cooked on my outside covered grille. I put the salmon on a foil boat out on the covered grille and while its cookin', I make a foil boat platter with about 20" of foil, folded long way in1/2 and then cup up the outer edge (about an inch) to make a boat. Then scoup in the tuna (after draining water) and the sardines drained- and break up it all and stir it up. After the salmon cooks (about 15 minutes) I scoup it into the mixture and break it all up and stir it in. Then I scoup it all into the foil boat and flatten it out and put a couple scoups of beef tallow (fat) on top for oil.Then back in to the grille for about 10 -15 more minutes. But I also make about 6 local free range raw eggs whipped in a bowl and pour it on top and kind of stir it in. In 10 minutes I have a 3 day casserole that I divide in three and last me for 3 meals (days)! It only comes to about $5 per day to eat! It's awesome!!

  • @gladysobrien1055
    @gladysobrien1055 Před rokem +2

    Dearest Laura….. the eye of the round roast that you avoid is one of the most delicious roasts around. I can say this for certainty…I grew up on only Beef tenderloin until I hated it.
    However…
    I only learned how to roast AN EYE OF THE ROUND ROAST this May 2022, being guided by Anita, 🇨🇦The Ketogenic 🇨🇦Woman, on CZcams from Vancouver, 🇨🇦British Columbia, I loved the roast so much that I was upset at myself for not buying two roasts. If you buy the whole roast…it is about 6-7 pounds….cryovac packaging keeps the roast fresh for a whopping TWO months i the fridge….that is why there is no best before date, sometimes, on the package. So, if you find a sale….only in cryovac packaging stock up.
    Where I live 🇨🇦only ONE store Offers this cut for sale. I now buy 4 roasts x 6 pounds and stock up. If you like brisket…this is so tender, so delicious, no wonder men love their beef and potatoes…because THIS IS IT! Move over brisket! To roast this and serve it to your most special and revered company….follow these instructions. These instructions are for a 6 pound whole eye of round. In other words for the whole piece.
    EYE OF ROUND ROASTING THE BEST MEAT IN THE WORLD.
    Preheat oven to 500F
    Unwrap meat, pat dry, slice off excess fat.
    Salt and pepper all over liberally.
    Place roast on foil lines sheet pan.
    Now…let us do some advance math…. Multiply the weight in pounds by the minutes
    6 pounds of meat x 7 minutes a pound = 42 minutes for rare
    6 pounds of meat x 8 minutes a pound = 48 minutes for medium
    6 pounds of meat x 9 minutes a pound = 54 minutes for medium well
    So, f you want rare meat… the above chart says 42 minutes.
    You are going to roast the meat exactly 42 minutes at the 500F you preheated the oven to.
    When you reach the 42 minutes…..do not touch the meat. Do not open the oven door to peek, do not even look at the roast at all….
    DO…turn off the oven. And no opening the oven door.
    When the oven is cold…the meat is ready to carve.
    It takes an hour or so to cool down…depending on your oven.
    Carve and enjoy! Savour how tremendous the roast is.
    Worried it is too lean….slice a nice cube of butter and garnish your plate and eat the butter with the beef! Out of this world delicious! Guaranteed.
    You will save lots of money and love and crave this cut of meat.
    Here in 🇨🇦Canada…on sale it is only a few cents more a pound than ground beef on sale!
    So, when I can, I opt for an eye of the round roast!
    Enjoy,
    Gladys, 🇨🇦Toronto, Canada
