Few keto recipes are simpler than this one—and yet, when done right, few recipes have the versatility or range. Because the recipe is so simple, however, the quality of your ingredients is especially key.
We recommend ensuring you get the highest quality beef, use good Himalayan pink salt (which is higher in minerals than many other salts, and has a more vibrant flavor), and consider shelling out for good almond butter—the kind that doesn’t have the extra sugars and other ingredients found in some of the less expensive butters.
Our favorite almond butter is Barny butter. Its sugar and salt free and suoer smooth and yummy!
They blanch the almonds to remove the gritty skins for an ultra-smooth, ultra-creamy texture. Skins contain phytic acid, which hinders the body’s ability to absorb key vitamins and minerals. Removing the skins ensures you are absorbing all of the great nutritional benefits of almonds.
The almonds are fresh roasted and immediately ground to capture better flavor and texture.
There are few almond butters that match the quality. It can be found in a number of health food stores or online.
