What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 300 g lean ground beef 90 percent lean
- 4 large eggs
- 1 small white onion diced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Brown the Beef
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and cooked through, draining any excess fat.
Step 2: Add Aromatics and Seasoning
Add the diced onion to the same skillet with the beef and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and garlic powder and stir everything together until evenly coated.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Push the beef mixture to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs gently with a spatula and begin folding them into the beef as they cook, combining everything together.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy, as residual heat will finish the cooking. Divide into two bowls and serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
Easy substitutions

- lean ground beef → ground turkey or ground bison
- smoked paprika → chili powder or cumin
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Overcooking the eggs until they become rubbery and dry instead of keeping them slightly creamy
- Using high fat ground beef without draining the excess grease which makes the dish overly oily
