Beef Breakfast Recipe: 20 Min Sausage Breakfast

Beef.

It’s what’s for…breakfast??

Yes.

I’ve tried several beef breakfast recipes and this one is closest to a traditional sausage flavor.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lbs Saint John’s organic grass fed beef

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tsp onion powder

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 ½ tsp dried sage

  • 1 ½ tsp dried thyme

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes

  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

  • Tallow or lard for frying, optional

METHOD

You can bake these for 20 minutes or pan fry.

Pan frying will yield a crispier, more authentic “breakfast sausage” vibe to the dish. But baking is more convenient if you don’t have time to watch a skillet.

  1. If baking, preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Mix together beef and spices well.

  3. Form into small, about 2 oz thin and flat patties.

  4. If baking, lay patties in a glass baking pan or other baking pan lined with foil. If pan frying, preheat a pan over medium-high heat and melt tallow or lard.

  5. Place patties in the oven for 20 minutes or pan fry for about 8 minutes.

  6. Cook until patties reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

  7. Serve with hash browns, eggs, and hot sauce of choice.
