  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional)
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

  1. Cook the Vegetables:
    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Brown the Wagyu Beef:
    Add the ground Wagyu beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
  3. Add Tomatoes:
    Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    Create small wells in the sauce and carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 5-8 minutes.
  5. Serve:
    Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.

Spice It Up or Tone It Down

Adjust the heat level of your Wagyu Beef Shakshuka to suit your taste by modifying the chili powder or adding fresh chilies. For a milder version, skip the chili altogether, or for an extra kick, top with sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Customize the spice level to match your preference, ensuring the perfect balance of flavors in every bite!
