Ingredients
- canola oil
- 1 onion, peeled and minced
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup frozen sweet peas, thawed
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Sides
- 6 saba bananas, ripe but firm
- 6 eggs
- 6 cups steamed white rice
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with the back of a spoon, for about 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add tomato sauce, soy sauce, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
- Lower heat, cover, and simmer until meat is cooked through and liquid is mostly reduced.
- Add green peas and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about ¼ cup of oil.
- Peel bananas and slice lengthwise. Add bananas and cook, turning once or twice, until golden and lightly crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- In the pan, add eggs and cook sunny side up, with the white part set and the yolks runny.
- Serve the minced beef with steamed rice, fried bananas, and fried eggs.
Notes
- Choose ripe bananas for a sweeter taste but firm to keep them from falling apart.
