Plain broth in a keto or carnivore kitchen
A warm cup of broth or a spoonful stirred into steak juices starts with the same simple base. Here’s how I use it and which other Bò products I reach for when ingredients matter.
Start with the recipe
Some people want a broth for a keto kitchen; others look for animal-based ingredients as part of carnivore eating. Bò plain broth contains Portuguese beef marrow bones, water and hand-harvested Algarve sea salt. We add no vegetables, sugars, starches, sweeteners or flavourings. That simple recipe explains why these customers consider it. It describes the plain broth alone: cacao, seasoning and our other products have their own ingredients and uses.
A warm cup or a cooking base
We roast the marrow bones and simmer the broth for at least 24 hours. Warm a portion gently, add water if you prefer a lighter cup, or use the concentrate in a pan sauce. You can build the rest of the meal around it without first working around onion, garlic or vinegar already in the stock. The finished dish changes with your additions. A sauce, soup or cup with extras should be assessed by its full recipe, rather than borrowing the description of the broth.
What else goes with it?
The cooking fat is rendered straight from roasted beef marrow. I use it to sear a steak, then add a spoonful of broth to the pan juices. If your choices depend on specific ingredients, keep an eye on the other products: Bò cacao contains cacao, House Seasoning is a spice blend, and our jerky and Powerballs are seasoned. If you count carbohydrates, use the nutrition information for your actual serving and count anything you add.
