Carnivore is the ultimate diet for fans of minimalism. You’ve got a half dozen ingredients to play with, at best, and each of those ingredients are so dense in nutrients, and so easy to digest, that you’ll be delegating very little time to the business of eating. There’s very little effort for the numerous rewards you’re about to reap across the apex lifestyle.
Cook it, then count it
But for those who consider laziness an art, we can go one better. That’s the combination of brisket, one of the healthiest cuts of beef, and the slow cooker, which should be everyone’s countertop staple.
Brisket is stacked in collagen, delicious fat, along with all the amino acids necessary to get you jacked. If there was one cut of beef you had to have every meal for the rest of your life, it should be brisket.
The problem is, the meat can be quite tough, and takes a lot of chopping if you’re not savvy enough to keep your knives sharp. As a second, because it’s tough, it can also be chewy, and that can be an issue when you’re trying to blaze through your meals.
Fortunately there’s an aforementioned solution here, which would be to slow cook your brisket so it demands no chopping and falls deferentially off the fork. There’s no need for sauces or spices or anything snazzy, everything you require for slow cooked brisket is already in the brisket.
It’s just about getting the time right, so that you get the texture just right. Too short, and it’s still raw. Whereas if you keep it on for the whole night, like I used to do, it’s going to be painfully dry.
Which is why it would be well worth getting a slow cooker with a timer, or get an adapter that comes with one. Then you’ll be on your way to receiving your first batch of brisket that will hopefully last you the rest of your life.

In The Air Fryer: The Weekday Version
The slow cooker gives you the Sunday brisket. The air fryer gives you the Tuesday one, and it was my daily breakfast for the best part of a year.
Dice the brisket into small cubes, spread them evenly across the base of the air fryer, and salt them properly. Ten minutes at 200C. That is the whole method. The cubes come out crisp at the edges, soft in the middle, and the fat renders just enough to baste the meat as it cooks.
It will not fall apart like the eight-hour version, because it is not trying to. Different job. This is brisket as fast food: on the plate inside fifteen minutes, no pan to scrub, and cheap enough to run every single day. I used to serve it with egg yolks fried in beef dripping and a slice of cold butter on the side, and I can still recommend that plate to anyone.
