Tortos con Picadillo and Poached Egg

In a heavy skillet, brown the grass-fed ground beef over medium-high heat until deeply caramelized. Add the minced shallots and crushed coriander seeds, sautéing until the shallots are translucent and the spices bloom with a fragrant, nutty aroma. Remove the meat mixture and set aside.

In the same pan, add the finely diced sweet potatoes. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they form a golden-brown crust and are tender through—the sweetness of the potato will provide the necessary base to balance the savory beef.

Reintroduce the beef mixture to the pan, tossing everything together to combine the flavors. If needed, deglaze the pan with a splash of water to lift the fond.

To serve, arrange the warm, spiced beef and sweet potato hash over a bed of crisp, fresh butter lettuce. The contrast between the hot, savory beef and the cool, delicate lettuce is essential. Garnish with additional fresh coriander if desired. This dish brings the hearty spirit of the Asturian mining village breakfast to your table, adapted for your daily macro requirements.
