Beef 'n' Beans

Whew. I've been without internet for two whole days. No withdrawal symptoms though, and no overwhelming urge to sign in to MSN messenger, "just to see who is online". Hahaha! We just got back from London today, just in time for dinner, so Justin offered to cook. Before we left, he was blathering on about how great baked beans are, and how he misses beef, so I shouldn't have been surprised with this dish, haha. I've always told them that if they miss proper meat so much, just go ahead and cook it. Seems like he took my advice for once, heh. (Yes, we eat a lot of chicken).

What you need:
2 onions, finely sliced
400g minced beef
5 "glugs" Worcestershire sauce (about 5 teaspoons)
Dash of soy sauce
1 400g can of baked beans
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
6 eggs, beaten well
Sesame oil, for drizzling
White pepper, for seasoning
Black pepper, for seasoning

What you do:

1. Heat up some oil in a wok and fry the onions until soft and translucent.
2. Add everything except the eggs, peppers and sesame oil. Mix well to combine, and fry until beef is cooked through.
3. Pour the eggs in, and allow to set (cook) before breaking up into small pieces.
   
4. Season well with white and black pepper and sesame oil. Serve.

Justin did this on purpose, I tell you. Just before we left, I was saying how I really didn't like baked beans. What do you know, he comes up with this dish. Sigh. And its beef! I don't *hate* beef, but I just like chicken a lot, you know, hehe. Although, to be fair, we haven't had beef in awhile. When we were served lamb chops in London, Hadi was drooling. So I don't blame Justin for the beef. But baked beans???

To my surprise though, this tasted quite okay. I barely tasted the baked beans (they were just funny round things in my mouth, haha) and I liked the eggs, heh. The whole dish was very very bulked up by the beans and eggs, in fact. I had about the same amount as my rice. Which is quite a lot. Half my plate! o.0

Hadi and Justin liked it well enough, because it was beef, if not for anything else. Hadi ate his with more tomato sauce, but that's just Hadi. :P Justin managed to finish one and a half portions of the dish, but that's just Justin. :P I thought it would've been better with chicken, but that's just me, heh. :P

Quote of the day: The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined
