Steak and Collard Greens

Beef Tenderloin swimming in Kerrygold Garlic Butter

I had to thin down the collard greens this morning, I cooked them up in my Instant Pot with Bacon. I used to have to let them stew a couple hours to get this tender in a Dutch Oven.

Late meeting running even later, means an even later dinner. … Large Taco Salad, (2) 1/4 lb. Hotdogs, Sauerkraut, Pepperoni, Pickles, Olives and Vinegar soaked Cucumbers. - But eating that Sauerkraut and Vinegar Cucumbers in the end, along with Pickles and Olives left quite the sour taste. Told the wife I needed something to quell the sourness, gave me a couple spoons of HaloTop.

Well I keto’ed this today in prep for a hiking trip. I reuse ziplock bags so a few items are not what they appear. Ie. Sesame seed bag contains my “porridge” with coconut milk powder and the broth bombs bag contains cacao butter buttons and cardamom coconut cherry crisps I made in my dehydrator.

And what I actually keto consumed today. Blueberry lemon eggloaf with double cream.

I made ghee for the first (and second) time! Burned the first batch but I think the second is a winner!

I caved last week and bought a jar of ghee, just to see what everyone is talking about… I prefer butter, I love the butter taste; however, ghee does wonders for steak and high-temp pan-searing, since it handles heat better than butter (milk solids can burn). Will I buy it again?Probably, just for steak

[Shortstuff]

Personally I make ghee to remove the milk solids, and because I think it tastes better. Here’s more info though -

Are Ghee Benefits Better Than Butter?

[Shortstuff]

@Meerkatsandy does the ghee you bought have added ingredients? I don’t like store bought ghee as they tend to add things to “improve” the smell and taste.

[Shortstuff]

Bacon and fresh eggs again.

Then I turned this mess into a lovely coffee -

[Meerkatsandy]

@Shortstuff
The only listed ingredient is 100% bio butter. I purchased it from our local “keto/lchf” supplier, they seem to have a very transparent business model and locally sourced ingredients. I chose to trust her, I hope I wasn’t wrong I am too lazy to make my own ghee, to be completely honest

[Sharon_E]

@Shortstuff
I made my first fatty coffee today.

I’m not crazy about the taste, but I’ll give it a chance to grow on me.

[Shortstuff]

What did you add to it @Sharon_E?

[Sharon_E]

Tsp coconut oil, tsp ghee, .5 tsp salt.

Actually, added another tsp of salt after tasting it.

[Shortstuff]

It took a few days for me to start adjusting to the dairy free coffees I make but now I quite like them without the cream. That’s a lot of salt you ended up with.

[Sharon_E]

It doesn’t taste too salty. Maybe I’ll try just one tsp in the future instead of 1.5.

Does it look right?

[Shortstuff]

In mine I add only about 0.25 of a teaspoon of Lite-Salt but your like of saltiness may be stronger than mine. My recipe at the moment is 5g ghee, 5g coconut oil, and the Lite-Salt.

[Sharon_E]

Sounds like the ghee and coconut oil are similar. I used pink salt cuz I can’t stand Lite-Salt. How much coffee does your cup hold? Mine is an average to large mug, maybe 12 ounces? Totally guessing, though.

[Shortstuff]

Must be about the same amount I think. I use pink salt sometimes too, mostly when I have black coffee. No science behind it, just what I do.
