A Closer Look at the Ingredients

Every component is chosen for its health benefits and flavor. Lean ground beef is an excellent source of iron and B vitamins. The spices—chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder—create a rich, smoky depth without added sodium. Fresh vegetables like bell peppers and mushrooms add essential vitamins and a satisfying crunch.

Spinach provides iron and folate, while eggs contribute high-quality protein and choline. We use only halal-certified beef and ensure all ingredients meet strict dietary standards, making this bowl a safe and delicious choice for everyone.

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

1. Cooking the Spiced Beef

Heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, seasoning it with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it into crumbles until fully browned.

Drain any excess fat. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until the beef is evenly coated. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

2. Sautéing the Vegetables

In the same pan, add another teaspoon of olive oil. Add the chopped shallot, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for 5-8 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the mushrooms have a nice brown color.

Add the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until just wilted. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a plate.

3. Baking and Final Assembly

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and return the cooked beef and vegetables to it, mixing gently. Create two small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each. Place the entire skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.

For fully set yolks, bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions, a drizzle of salsa verde, and optional avocado slices.
