Ingredients
2 lbs beef short ribs
4 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil or beef tallow
Optional: Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for the ribs
Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley or chives
Directions
- Prepare and Cook the Ribs: Season the short ribs with salt, pepper, and optional herbs. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Brown the ribs on all sides, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until tender, about 2-3 hours. Remove the ribs, shred the meat, and discard the bones.
- Skillet Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a cast iron skillet, arrange the shredded beef short ribs evenly.
- Add the Eggs: Crack the eggs over the shredded beef in the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks—season with more salt and pepper.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and serve hot directly from the skillet.
