Easy Carnivore Beef Liver Pâté Recipe

It might be tempting to just settle for eating ribeye all day, every day, but that could see you running into some issues. Muscle meat still lacks in several micronutrients. And don’t let the name fool you, these nutrients are just as critical for the body as proteins and fats.

Fortunately we have an easy option that literally solves all of our problems. Beef liver. It’s genuinely nutrient-dense, but the vitamin A, copper and iron it stores accumulate in you, so treat it as an occasional corrective, not a staple. It’s cheap, it’s incredibly healthy, and makes sure you don’t suffer any nutrient deficiencies from following a restricted diet like carnivore. It even has an anti-fatigue effect, making it an ideal midday snack to blot out the post-lunch blues. But there is a problem.

Beef Liver Can Taste Quite Strong

Some people detest the taste of liver, and it does have a metallic tang to it. It may just be that too many of them were force-fed it by their nans, and they’ve developed an intense disliking to this superfood. But there’s just too much to gain in eating liver, and there are ways to mask the taste and turn into a snack that’s tolerable, or downright delicious.

Carnivore Beef Liver Pâté

Keto and carnivore friendly, and flexible enough for you to experiment with extra ingredients. Foods just don't get any more nutritious than liver, but the mineral taste can be overpowering. A decent pâté can mask the flavour and allow you to get the many perks of liver.
