👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Take the beef out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking so it comes closer to room temperature—this is important for even cooking.
- 2 Pat the surface of the meat dry with paper towels, then sprinkle coarse salt and black pepper evenly on both sides, pressing gently to help it stick.
- 3 Heat a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over high heat until very hot, then pour in the beef tallow or olive oil.
- 4 Place the beef in the hot pan and sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium doneness. Avoid flipping it too often so a nice caramelized crust can form.
- 5 Lower the heat, then add the butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary to the pan. Tilt the pan and repeatedly spoon the melted butter over the beef for 1-2 minutes (basting technique).
- 6 Remove the beef and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing so the juices stay locked in.
- 7 In the same pan, quickly fry the smoked beef until crispy at the edges, then set aside.
- 8 Use the remaining fat in the pan to fry the eggs to your preferred doneness—a sunny-side-up egg with a slightly runny yolk is recommended.
- 9 Slice the beef against the grain, arrange it on a plate with the smoked beef and fried egg, then drizzle the remaining garlic butter from the pan over the top.
- 10 Serve warm, paired with a warm cup of beef bone broth as a classic carnivore-diet drink.
💡 Tips
• Choose beef with good marbling (fat), like ribeye, for a naturally richer flavor without needing much extra seasoning.
• Avoid poking the meat while cooking, as this will let the juices escape and make the final result dry.
• Use a meat thermometer for precise results: 125-129°F (52-54°C) for medium-rare, 135-140°F (57-60°C) for medium.
• Leftover fat from the smoked beef and butter can be saved for cooking eggs or meat the next day—don't throw it away, as it's packed with flavor.
