Carnivore Steak Egg Wrap Recipe

The carnivore diet emphasizes nutrient-dense, animal-based foods while eliminating plants, grains, and sugars. One of the most satisfying meals you can prepare on this diet is a steak egg wrap. It combines the rich flavor of a perfectly seared steak with the soft, fluffy texture of eggs that act as the “wrap” in place of bread or tortillas. Not only is this dish incredibly filling, but it is also versatile—you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, depending on your appetite and schedule.

This recipe is a perfect example of how simple ingredients can create something indulgent, satisfying, and aligned with a carnivore lifestyle. The eggs provide a sturdy yet soft casing, while the juicy steak adds depth of flavor, healthy fats, and protein. With a touch of melted cheese or bone marrow butter (optional), it becomes a complete and hearty meal that checks all the boxes for flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients

For two servings, you’ll need:

• 8 large eggs

• 8–10 oz ribeye steak (or sirloin, New York strip, or your favorite cut)

• 2 tablespoons butter or tallow (for cooking)

• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste; omit pepper for strict carnivore)

• 2 oz shredded cheese (optional, cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère)

• 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional, makes eggs fluffier)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a better sear.

2. Season generously with salt (and pepper if you include it).

3. Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or tallow.

4. Once the fat is shimmering, place the steak in the skillet. For a medium-rare ribeye (about 1-inch thick), cook for 3–4 minutes per side. Adjust based on thickness and preference.

5. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5 minutes to retain juices. Slice thinly across the grain.

Step 2: Make the Egg Wraps

1. Crack 4 eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add a splash of heavy cream if desired.

2. Heat a clean nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a small knob of butter.

3. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl the pan to create a thin, even layer, similar to making a crepe or omelet.

4. Cook until the edges set and the center is mostly firm. Carefully flip if needed, or cover with a lid to finish cooking through.

5. Slide the egg wrap onto a plate and repeat the process with the remaining eggs to make 2–3 wraps total.

Step 3: Assemble the Wrap

1. Lay one egg wrap flat on a cutting board or plate.

2. Place slices of steak across the center of the wrap.

3. Sprinkle cheese over the steak (if using).

4. Fold the wrap over like a burrito or roll it tightly into a log shape.

5. Slice in half for easier handling and presentation.

Tips for the Best Carnivore Steak Egg Wrap

• Choose the right steak: Ribeye is the top choice because of its marbling, which keeps it juicy. Sirloin or flank steak works too, though they are leaner.

• Cooking fat matters: Use butter, ghee, or beef tallow to stay within carnivore guidelines and add richness.

• Egg thickness: Keep the wraps thin but sturdy. If they’re too thick, they can crack when folded.

• Extra richness: Spread softened bone marrow butter over the steak before rolling for an indulgent touch.

• Make it cheesy: While optional, cheese not only adds flavor but also helps glue the wrap together.

Variations

1. Breakfast Style: Add scrambled eggs along with the steak filling for a double-egg wrap.

2. Cheesy Melt: Use mozzarella or provolone and warm the wrap in the skillet after assembling for a gooey interior.

3. Ground Beef Version: Substitute steak with seasoned ground beef for a budget-friendly wrap.

4. Bacon Upgrade: Wrap the steak slices with crispy bacon before rolling them in the egg wrap.
