Prep work:
Soak the dates in a bowl with water for 1-2 hours, then drain all of the water.
Melt the ghee on your stovetop.
Add all ingredients to your food processor.
Note: If you’re not using Carnivore Crisps beef flour (ASHLEYR for 10% off), use the instructions in this recipe to make your own beef flour.
Add the beef flour, melted ghee, and soaked dates into your food processor.
Blend until smooth. A thick dough will form. For a visual, see the Instagram Reel for this recipe.
Roll the dough into little balls and place them in the fridge.
Grab a small section of the dough and roll it into whatever size ball you want (I made 12) then place it on top of parchment paper on a plate. Repeat until you’ve used all the dough, then place the plate in the refrigerator.
Note: you can probably do without the parchment paper since the bites aren’t very sticky. I just prefer to use it to minimize messy dishes.
I recommend storing these bites in an airtight container in the fridge. You can store them and eat them at room temperature, but they will soften considerably, especially if it’s hot out.
Tips to make the best Sweet Beef Bites
- If you’re not using Carnivore Crisps beef flour (ASHLEYR for 10% off), use the instructions in this recipe to make your own beef flour. And if making your own beef flour, I’d add a few dashes of sea salt to the mixture as Carnivore Crisps beef flour is already salted.
