Ingredients
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 lb grass-fed ground beef (85/15 or 80/20)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp sea salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- ½ cup bone broth or vegetable stock
- Optional: 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Dice onion, mince garlic, chop bell pepper. Measure out all spices and broth.
- Brown Ground Beef: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, break it up, and cook until thoroughly browned, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Sauté Aromatics & Veggies: Add diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Add Spices & Liquid: Stir in cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in bone broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Simmer & Finish: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. If adding spinach, stir it in during the last 2-3 minutes until just wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
