Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce like peppers and cabbage at major supermarkets or local greengrocers. For the beans, use any pre-cooked leftovers from your pantry. Bacon and steak should be sourced from the butcher's counter or the chilled meat aisle. Culinary sweetener is available in the baking or sugar-substitute aisle of any large retailer.
Preparation method
- In a pan, fry the diced steak with the garlic, onion, and bacon until golden brown.
- Add the chopped 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 sweetener.
- Simmer over medium heat until the cabbage has softened.
- While the salad is still simmering, crack the egg directly into the pan.
- Whisk vigorously with a fork or a balloon whisk until the egg is cooked through and the liquid has slightly thickened.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve warm.
