Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce and staples at local markets like MHCC or RB Patel. Beef and bacon are readily available at any butcher shop or the meat section of major supermarkets. If fresh black beans are unavailable, canned beans are a common pantry substitute.

- In a pan, fry the diced steak with the garlic, onion, and bacon until browned.
- Add the chopped bell pepper and sauté for another minute.
- Stir in the cooked beans, chopped cabbage, enough water to lightly cover the ingredients, salt, black pepper, oregano, vinegar, and sweetener.
- Cook over medium heat until the cabbage becomes tender.
- While the salad is still simmering, crack the egg directly into the pan.
- Stir vigorously with a fork or whisk until the egg is cooked and the liquid thickens slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
