👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt.
- 2 Sauté the smoked beef or beef bacon briefly until slightly browned and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 3 Add the ground beef, pressing it down with a spatula to spread it evenly in the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- 4 Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until it changes color and is cooked evenly, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside a bit of the rendered fat—don't discard it.
- 5 Make a well in the center of the skillet and lower the heat. Add the remaining butter, then crack the eggs one by one into the empty space.
- 6 Cover the skillet and cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still a bit runny, or to your preferred doneness.
- 7 Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef and eggs, then cover the skillet again for 1 minute until the cheese melts completely.
- 8 If you like it juicier, drizzle a little warm beef bone broth over the top before serving. Serve straight from the skillet while hot.
💡 Tips
• Choose ground beef with about 20% fat content so the result stays juicy and doesn't dry out during cooking.
• Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, since it heats more evenly and gives the edges of the beef a slightly crispy texture.
• If you want the egg yolks fully cooked, cover the skillet a bit longer, about 4-5 minutes, but check periodically so they don't overcook.
• Save the leftover beef fat in the skillet to cook other carnivore dishes like steak or eggs—don't throw it away, since it has a naturally savory flavor.
