A REAL SAN FRANCISCO TREAT: JOE'S SPECIAL
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.

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.

JOE'S SPECIAL
This can be served for brunch, dinner, or a midnight snack and should be served with sourdough toast and hot sauce. It is thought to originate in San Francisco but there are many different ideas as to who gets credit for it. This version is from Firehouse Food: Cooking with San Francisco's Firefighters

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until it is evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a large bowl, draining and discarding the fat.
- Return the pan to the heat and add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute until golden and translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the beef, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan, along with the remaining tablespoon of oil, if needed. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Return the beef and onion to the pan with the mushrooms. Add the spinach, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg. Cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the eggs. Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are just set and soft-scrambled. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
