Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets or the fresh produce sections of neighborhood markets. If you prefer, regular table sugar can be used as a substitute for the culinary sweetener if you are not following a specific diet, though the original recipe calls for the sweetener.

- In a pan, fry the diced steak with the garlic, onion, and bacon until golden brown.
- Add the chopped bell pepper and sauté for another minute.
- Stir in the cooked beans, cabbage, enough water to lightly cover the ingredients, salt, black pepper, oregano, vinegar, and the sweetener.
- Cook over medium heat until the cabbage is tender.
- While the salad is still simmering, crack the egg directly into the pot.
