Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 450 g (1 pound) ground beef
- 5 eggs
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
- Spring onion, chopped
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
- Cheese, grated
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Immerse diced potatoes in generously salted water, simmering until fork-tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. Thoroughly drain and set aside.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium heat, reaching approximately 350°F.
- Introduce finely chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant, around 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate ground beef into the skillet, methodically fragmenting with a sturdy spatula. Cook until the meat transforms to a rich, caramelized brown and eliminates any raw pink coloration, roughly 6-7 minutes.
- Enhance the beef with a harmonious blend of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoky paprika, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Gently fold the previously boiled potatoes into the skillet, creating a unified and appetizing composition.
- Delicately crack whole eggs directly atop the sizzling beef and potato landscape, allowing them to nestle comfortably.
- Tenderly manipulate the skillet’s contents, guiding the eggs toward complete culinary transformation, ensuring firm and opaque consistency.
- Conclude by generously sprinkling freshly grated cheese and finely sliced spring onions across the surface.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, capturing the dish’s vibrant temperature and robust flavors.
Notes
- Opt for lean ground beef to reduce overall fat content without compromising flavor.
- Swap traditional potatoes with sweet potatoes for a nutrient-dense alternative that adds natural sweetness.
- Use cast iron skillet for superior heat distribution and enhanced caramelization of beef and vegetables.
- Consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to elevate the dish’s aromatic profile and boost nutritional value.
