Dried Smoked Beef and Eggs

 

Dried Smoked Beef and Eggs

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound dried smoked beef
• Boiling water
• 4 large eggs, well-beaten

Instructions

1. Prepare Dried Smoked Beef: Shave the dried smoked beef into thin strips.
2. Boil Beef Strips: Place the shaved beef strips in a pan and cover them with enough boiling water. Set the pan over the fire for ten minutes.
3. Drain and Cut Beef: After ten minutes, drain off the water and cut the beef into very small pieces.
4. Beat Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. For every half-pound of beef, use four well-beaten eggs.
5. Combine Eggs and Beef: Stir the well-beaten eggs into the pan with the minced beef.
6. Toss and Stir: Toss and stir the mixture in the pan for approximately two minutes, ensuring even incorporation of eggs and beef. The eggs should cook and form a cohesive mixture with the beef.
7. Serve Hot: Transfer the Dried Smoked Beef and Eggs to a covered dish and serve immediately.
