Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce, meats, and pantry staples at local markets or neighborhood grocery stores. If unavailable, white vinegar can be substituted for other vinegars, and a small amount of sugar can replace the culinary sweetener, though the original balance is recommended for best results.
Preparation method
- In a pan, fry the diced steak with the garlic, onion, and bacon until golden brown.
- Add the chopped bell pepper and sauté for one more minute.
- Add 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 is tender.
- While the salad is still boiling, crack the egg directly into the pan.
- Stir vigorously with a fork or whisk until the egg is cooked and the broth thickens slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Serve hot.
