Ingredients:
- 4 large boiled eggs (peeled and sliced)
- 1/2 lb beef strips (sirloin or any preferred cut)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (or 4-5 slices of crispy bacon, chopped)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1 tablespoon beef tallow or butter (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Beef Strips:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of beef tallow or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the fat is melted and hot, add the beef strips. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the beef strips for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are browned on all sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness. If you like your beef more tender, you can cook it for a few extra minutes or even lower the heat for slower cooking.
2. Prepare the Bacon:
- If you’re using whole bacon slices, chop them into small pieces and add them to the skillet once the beef strips are nearly done. Let the bacon cook in the same pan, allowing it to crisp up and release its savory fat. This will add extra flavor to the dish.
- If you’re using cooked bacon bits, simply toss them into the pan at the same time as the beef strips to warm them up and combine all the flavors.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
- Once the beef and bacon are cooked, gently add the sliced boiled eggs to the skillet. Stir carefully to incorporate the eggs with the beef and bacon mixture, so the eggs don’t break apart too much. The warm meat and bacon will soften the eggs, allowing their flavors to meld together.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the entire skillet. Allow it to melt, stirring occasionally to ensure it’s well combined with the beef, bacon, and eggs.
4. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the mixture and adjust with more salt and pepper if needed. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder if you prefer additional flavor, though it’s not necessary for a strict carnivore approach.
5. Serve:
- Once everything is well-mixed and the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the heat. If you like, garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives for a touch of color and freshness (though optional for strict carnivores).
- Serve immediately while hot. This dish is perfect for a filling breakfast, satisfying lunch, or hearty dinner.
