Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cooking fat tallow, butter, ghee
  • 12 ounces ground beef
  • 3 small eggs

Instructions

  1. 1

    Divide meat and shape: Divide the meat into three 4-ounce portions. Flatten each one into a patty with your hands, then place on a cutting board and open up the center hole. Press and pinch edges together, no cracks should show.

  2. 2

    Cook the meat rings: Warm a skillet over high heat and add the cooking fat. Use tallow to keep this recipe dairy-free or cook in butter or ghee if you like. Any fat will do. Support the meat with your free hand while firmly lifting the ring up with a spatula and arrange on the skillet. Repeat until all meat is cooking. Adjust the opening if needed.

  3. 3

    Crack eggs into center ot meat rings: While the meat cooks, crack open the eggs and add them one by one to the center of the meat. Continue cooking until the meat is nicely browned, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip after three minutes: Flip quickly. Cook the second side for about half as long or until eggs set.

  5. 5

    Serve and enjoy: Remove from heat, serve, salt liberally and enjoy!
