Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably grass-fed for better fat content)
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese, like mozzarella)
- 1 tbsp beef tallow, butter, or ghee (for cooking)
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional, for a slight Mexican-inspired flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Cook the Ground Beef:
- Heat the beef tallow (or butter/ghee) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the fat is melted and hot, add the ground beef to the pan.
- Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin (if using). Cook, breaking up the beef with a spatula, until the meat is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly while you prepare the egg mixture.
2. Prepare the Eggs:
- In a mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk them well. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. The eggs will help form the “roll” and provide a creamy texture when combined with the beef.
3. Cook the Egg Base:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of beef tallow or butter.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, swirling to form a thin, even layer. Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes or until they set and form a delicate omelette.
4. Assemble the Carnivore Roll:
- Once the egg has cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the egg. Then, add a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef on top of the cheese. The cheese will help hold the beef and egg together once it’s rolled.
5. Roll and Serve:
- Gently fold the edges of the egg over the beef and cheese to create a roll, just like wrapping an egg roll, making sure everything is tucked in tightly.
- Once rolled, carefully transfer the “egg roll” to a plate, cut it into slices, and serve. You can optionally garnish with extra cheese or herbs if you like.
Why This Works for the Carnivore Diet:
- High Protein and Fat: The ground beef, eggs, and cheese provide a solid mix of protein and fat, making this dish nutrient-dense and filling.
- Zero Carbs: With no carbs or sugars, this recipe stays true to the carnivore diet, keeping your intake focused on animal-based foods.
