Ingredients

Servings
  • 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 sweet peas frozen, thawed
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

For the Sides

  • 6 saba banana ripe but firm
  • 6 egg
  • 6 cups white rice steamed

Instructions

  1. In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
  2. 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.
  3. Add tomato sauce, soy sauce, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
  4. Lower heat, cover, and simmer until meat is cooked through and liquid is mostly reduced.
  5. Add green peas and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a pan over medium heat, heat about ¼ cup of oil.
  7. 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.
  8. In the pan, add eggs and cook sunny side up, with the white part set and the yolks runny.
  9. 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.
