Ingredients
  

  • For the Beef Mixture:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 300 g about 10 oz minced beef
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or kale finely chopped
  • For Assembly:
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Equipment

  • 1 Skillet Non-stick or cast iron
  • 1 Spatula For stirring beef and flipping egg
  • 1 Small Frying Pan To cook sunny-side-up eggs separately
  • 1 Cutting board For prepping veggies
  • 1 Knife To chop peppers, tomatoes, and herbs

Method
 

  1. Prep the veggies: Dice onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop herbs.
  2. Cook the beef mixture: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 2–3 minutes. Add peppers, cook until softened. Stir in cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the minced beef: Crumble into the pan and cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Add herbs and mix well.
  4. Fry the eggs: In a separate small pan, heat a touch of oil and crack in eggs. Cook sunny-side-up to desired doneness (3–4 minutes).
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the beef mixture into bowls. Top each with a fried egg and a handful of cherry tomatoes.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with extra herbs, salt, or pepper if desired. Enjoy hot!

Notes

  • Swap minced beef for turkey or plant-based crumble for variety
  • Want more veggies? Add sautéed spinach, kale, or zucchini to the mix
  • For extra heat, sprinkle with red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days (reheat gently before serving)
