Ingredients
4 servings
Ground beef (80/20)450 g
Cheddar cheese, shredded115 g
Chili powder1 tbsp
Cumin1 tsp
Garlic powder0.5 tsp
Onion powder0.5 tsp
Sea salt0.5 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp

Method
1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2
Form the mixture into approximately 12 small, flattened patties or balls, about 1-inch in diameter. These are your 'bites'.
3
Heat the tallow or lard in a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Carefully place the beef bites into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
5
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until deeply browned and a delicious crust has formed. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
6
Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess fat. Serve hot as a satisfying, savory snack.
