Method

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef tallow. Once shimmering, add the ground beef, breaking it apart.

Allow the beef to sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a deep, rich crust – a hallmark of the Maillard reaction. Then, break apart and continue to cook until deeply browned and caramelized. Season liberally with flaky sea salt. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside, reserving all rendered fat.

In the same skillet, melt 25g of the cultured butter over medium heat. Allow it to gently brown, swirling occasionally, until it achieves a nutty aroma and a rich amber color, signaling the transformation into brown butter.

Carefully crack the eggs directly into the brown butter. Spoon the hot butter over the egg whites until just set, ensuring the yolks remain luscious and runny. Season the eggs with a pinch of flaky sea salt.

While the eggs are poaching, melt the remaining 15g cultured butter in a small pan. Whisk vigorously until it emulsifies into a creamy, almost sauce-like consistency.

Plate the deeply seared ground beef hash. Carefully place the brown butter-poached eggs on top. Drizzle generously with the emulsified cultured butter. Finish with a delicate dusting of the finely grated aged hard cheese for an intense burst of umami.
