A REAL SAN FRANCISCO TREAT: JOE'S SPECIAL



A Real San Francisco Treat: Joe's Special image

Joe's Special is comfort food, plain and simple, made of onion, spinach, ground sirloin and eggs. It's an old recipe that makes the type of food we like to cook today -- hearty and healthful, quick and easy. It was introduced in San Francisco in the 1920s. There are many versions of this recipe but none on this site just like this one. Serve Joe's Special as a lunch or dinner meal, but it can also be a protein-filled breakfast dish, often with hash browns and toast on the side. Recipe is from our local food writer, Jan D'Atri.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large eggs
Splash or two of Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly milled black pepper or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 pound lean freshly ground beef, preferably chili grind (a bit coarser than hamburger grind)
3/4 to 1 pound fresh spinach, preferably the crinkly savoy variety, trimmed of stems and chopped, or one 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add the Tabasco, salt, basil, and pepper. Whisk just enough to combine; you should still see large bubbles. Set aside.
  • Warm the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the onion and sauté until soft but not beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and continue cooking until uniformly brown, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Cover with the spinach, place a lid over the mixture, and cook for about 3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts. (If using frozen spinach, cook, covered, for 1 minute, just to take off its raw edge.)
  • Stir the spinach into the meat, cooking briefly to eliminate excess liquid if the mixture seems watery. Pour the egg mixture over all, stirring with a spatula from the bottom until the eggs begin to set. Remove from the heat and stir a few more times, as the eggs cook through from the residual heat. Serve immediately.

  • Melt the butter or ghee in a large (12-inch) stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the mushrooms into the skillet in a single layer and leave them undisturbed until they begin to brown, about five minutes.
  • Add the onion, garlic, and ½ teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are softened and the garlic has lost its raw bite, about five minutes.
  • Add the spinach to the skillet, stirring it into the other ingredients for a few minutes so that it wilts and reduces in volume. When the spinach has just wilted, transfer everything from the skillet to a large, shallow serving bowl.
  • Add the ground beef the now empty skillet, along with the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Sauté the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. The liquid from the beef will help to bring up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Sauté until the beef is fully cooked through with no trace of pink remaining, about ten minutes. Transfer the cooked beef to the serving bowl with the sautéed vegetables.
