Categories     Breakfast     Brunch     Dinner     1-Pot     Kid-friendly     Quick and Easy

Time 42m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt, divided
6-ounce bag (8 cups) baby spinach
1 pound (85 to 95%) lean ground beef
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, optional
Sliced sourdough bread or rolls, to serve

Steps:

  • Cook the mushrooms: Melt the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and leave them alone, without stirring, until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Cook the onions: Add the onions, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt to the mushrooms . Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and the garlic has lost its raw bite, 5 more minutes.
  • Wilt the spinach: Add the spinach to the skillet, stirring it into the other ingredients for a couple minutes so that it wilts and reduces in volume. When the spinach has just barely wilted, transfer everything from the skillet to a large, shallow serving bowl.
  • Cook the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the empty skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the Worcestershire sauce, pepper, nutmeg, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the top. Cook the beef, breaking it up with your spatula into crumbles. Continue to cook until the beef is fully cooked through with no trace of pink remaining, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the cooked beef to the serving bowl with the sautéed vegetables. Pour off any fat still in the pan, leaving just a thin film to cook the eggs. (Add a teaspoon of cooking oil or butter if the pan seems dry.)
  • Scramble the eggs: Return the pan to the stove and reduce the heat to medium low. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with Tabasco (if using), just until thoroughly combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet, and scramble just until the curds are barely wet and beginning to break apart, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix everything together and serve: Add the cooked beef and vegetables back to the skillet, breaking up the eggs into bite sized pieces and stirring everything together until evenly combined. Transfer everything back to the serving bowl and serve hot, with a side of sourdough bread.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large eggs
Splash or two of Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly milled black pepper or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 pound lean freshly ground beef, preferably chili grind (a bit coarser than hamburger grind)
3/4 to 1 pound fresh spinach, preferably the crinkly savoy variety, trimmed of stems and chopped, or one 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add the Tabasco, salt, basil, and pepper. Whisk just enough to combine; you should still see large bubbles. Set aside.
  • Warm the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the onion and sauté until soft but not beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and continue cooking until uniformly brown, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Cover with the spinach, place a lid over the mixture, and cook for about 3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts. (If using frozen spinach, cook, covered, for 1 minute, just to take off its raw edge.)
  • Stir the spinach into the meat, cooking briefly to eliminate excess liquid if the mixture seems watery. Pour the egg mixture over all, stirring with a spatula from the bottom until the eggs begin to set. Remove from the heat and stir a few more times, as the eggs cook through from the residual heat. Serve immediately.

JOE'S SPECIAL BEEF AND SPINACH SCRAMBLE



Joe's Special Beef and Spinach Scramble image

This mammoth plate of food features three eggs, a half-pound of meat, and more than enough spinach. Apparently a late-night patron requested his spinach omelet include a hamburger patty, and this is what happened. In respect to good ol' made-up 'Joe,' I've kept the original portions, so feel free to share with a friend or three. This version is mostly meat and spinach, but if you want something closer to a classic scramble, then cut the beef and spinach amounts in half. This is how most restaurants that copy the recipe do it!

Categories     Scrambled Eggs

Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅓ cup diced onion
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup sliced mushrooms
½ pound lean ground chuck
½ cup cooked chopped spinach, squeezed dry, or more to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Beat eggs, basil, and oregano together in a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onions with a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is translucent, 4 to 6 minutes; add mushrooms with another pinch of salt. Saute mushrooms and onion until mushrooms are soft and brown around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes more.
  • Stir ground beef, pepper, and salt into the mushroom mixture. Cook and stir until meat is lightly browned and crumbly, 1 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Push all meat to one side of the skillet and tilt the skillet so that the excess grease runs down to the bottom of the pan. Use a paper towel to blot the grease.
  • Stir spinach into beef mixture and cook over medium heat until spinach is heated through, about 1 minute. Add eggs; cook and stir until eggs are set, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
