Provided by thegreatpablo

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 onions, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained (can substitute 8 ounces of fresh spinach)
6 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring to crumble until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Pour off any excess grease then stir in garlic, onions, and mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in nutmeg, oregano, spinach, salt, and pepper and cook until the spinach is heated through. 2. Reduce heat to medium-low and make 6 egg sized indentations in the scramble. Crack the eggs into each indentation. If you prefer a scramble, stir slowly and allow eggs to cook with beef and spinach mixture. If you prefer an almost poached style egg, cover and continue to cook without stirring until egg is done to your liking.

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.

A REAL SAN FRANCISCO TREAT: JOE'S SPECIAL



A Real San Francisco Treat: Joe's Special image

Joe's Special is comfort food, plain and simple, made of onion, spinach, ground sirloin and eggs. It's an old recipe that makes the type of food we like to cook today -- hearty and healthful, quick and easy. It was introduced in San Francisco in the 1920s. There are many versions of this recipe but none on this site just like this one. Serve Joe's Special as a lunch or dinner meal, but it can also be a protein-filled breakfast dish, often with hash browns and toast on the side. Recipe is from our local food writer, Jan D'Atri.
