Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil - extra virgin, for a richer flavor
1 cup yellow onion - about 1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
500 grams ground beef (minced beef) - preferably lean
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp salt - to taste
¼ tsp ground black pepper - freshly ground
4 large eggs - free-range for the best flavor
1 handful parsley - fresh, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn golden and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until nicely browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Allow the spices to meld with the beef mixture for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Make four small wells in the beef mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 6-8 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley over the skillet before serving.
Notes
For a twist, add a splash of hot sauce to the beef mixture for extra heat. Substitute ground turkey for a leaner alternative. To make it low-carb, serve alongside a fresh green salad.
