Ground Beef Omelet (Carnivore-Style)

Gently cooked 80/20 ground beef mixed with butter and salt, wrapped in thin omelet layers. A high-protein, high-fat meal that stays juicy by cooking the beef first and assembling at the end. A filling, nutrient-dense meal for the whole family, rich in complete protein, essential fats, iron, zinc, choline, vitamin A and B vitamins.

Chef’s notes

Keep the heat controlled — overheating dries out ground beef.

A medium carbon steel pan works especially well for omelets.

Thin egg layers cook faster and wrap better around the beef.

Best served immediately.

Ingredients

  • Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat)
  • Eggs — 4 eggs per 0.5 lb (225 g) of beef
  • Salt
  • Butter — 1–2 tablespoons
  • Beef tallow (or lard / ghee) for frying

Directions

  1. Cook the ground beef over medium to medium-low heat, keeping it juicy. Do not overcook; leaving some chunks is fine.
  2. When the beef is no longer pink (or just lightly browned), remove it from the pan and transfer to a bowl.
  3. Add a generous pinch of salt and the butter to the hot beef. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs, add a pinch of salt, and whisk until evenly colored.
  5. Heat a medium pan over medium-high heat and melt some beef tallow.
  6. Pour in enough egg mixture to thinly coat the bottom of the pan (about ¼ cup / 60 ml per omelet for a medium pan).
  7. When the eggs set and lightly brown, flip them.
  8. Place a portion of the beef mixture on one side of the omelet.
  9. When the underside browns, fold the omelet in half and remove from the pan.
  10. Repeat with the remaining eggs and beef.
