🥩 Carnivore Skillet: Ground Beef & Egg Bowl

🥩 Carnivore Skillet: Ground Beef & Egg Bowl

🍳 Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 preferred for flavor and fat)

• 2 tbsp beef tallow, butter, or ghee

• 1 tsp salt (to taste)

• ½ tsp black pepper (optional, if tolerated on your version of carnivore)

• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

• 1 egg (or more, if you want extra protein and fat)

• Optional toppings: grated cheese, bone broth drizzle, or bacon bits

🔥 Instructions:

1. Heat the Fat:

   • In a cast-iron skillet, melt beef tallow or butter over medium heat.

2. Cook the Ground Beef:

   • Add ground beef and break it apart with a spatula.

   • Season with salt, pepper, and (if using) smoked paprika.

   • Cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and juicy.

3. Make a Well for the Egg:

   • Push the beef to the sides of the pan, creating a small space in the center.

   • Crack the egg into the well.

   • Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet for 2–3 minutes, or until the egg white sets and the yolk is still runny.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Spoon the egg and beef together, letting the yolk mix with the meat for extra richness.

   • Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.

   • Optionally, top with cheese or drizzle a little melted butter for added fat.

🧈 Tips for Carnivore Optimization:

• Use fattier beef (70/30) for higher calories and better texture.

• Add a splash of bone broth for moisture instead of water.

• If you tolerate dairy, melt in cheddar or cream cheese for a creamy version.

• Cook extra and store in the fridge — it reheats beautifully in a pan or microwave.
