Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients can be found in the fresh produce and meat aisles of local grocery stores or community markets in the Marshall Islands. If specifically looking for Brazilian staples like 'calabresa' (if substituting) or specific bean varieties, specialty importers are recommended, though standard kidney or black beans work perfectly for this dish.
Preparation method
- In a pan, fry the cubed steak along with the garlic, onion, and bacon until browned.
- 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 sweetener.
- Cook over medium heat until the cabbage is tender.
- While the salad is still at a simmer, crack the egg directly into the pan.
- Stir vigorously with a fork or whisk until the egg is cooked and the broth has thickened slightly.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot.
