JOE'S SPECIAL

My go-to #keto main dish. I could eat it every night.

A scrummy scramble from San Francisco.

Serves: 3-4

Tools:

• Standard US Measuring Set

  • 1/2 cup

• 1 wok (or very large skillet)

• 1 bowl

• 1 spatula

• 1 fork

Ingredients:

• 1 knob of salted butter (about 1 tbsp but I eyeball it)

• 1/2 cup of frozen chopped onion

• 750g of minced beef (5% fat if you can)

• 200g bag of spinach (pre-rinsed: life's too short)

• 4 eggs

• Splash of double cream

• Salt

• Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

• Step 1: Melt the knob of butter in the wok over medium heat

• Step 2: Add 1/2 cup frozen chopped onions to the melted butter

• Step 3: As the onions cook, empty 4 eggs into a bowl

• Step 4: To the egg bowl add the splash of heavy cream and some salt (I do four generous grinds)

• Step 5: Scramble the egg mixture with a fork until mostly mixed. Set aside

• Step 6: Once the onions are translucent, add the 750g of minced beef to the wok. Cook until browned.

• Step 7: Once the beef has brown, add the 200g of spinach and cook until the spinach is mostly wilted

• Step 8: Pushing the onion/beef/spinach to the side, clear a space at the bottom of the wok and pour in the egg mixture

• Step 9: Scramble the eggs in the space you've made as best you can. Don't worry if it gets messy, it'll all mix up at the end

• Step 10: Once the eggs are cooked, mix the whole concoction together.

• Step 11: Season with salt and serve with the grated Parmesan (and don't be stingy)
