Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 unit red bell pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by finely chopping half a cup of onion and mincing 3 cloves of garlic. Dice one red bell pepper into small pieces.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook and stir for another 3 minutes until the bell pepper starts to soften.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Break up the beef with a spatula and stir continuously to ensure even browning.
Step 5
Once the beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes, stir in 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin, and 0.5 teaspoon of chili powder. Mix until the spices are well distributed.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the beef mixture to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 7
Meanwhile, roughly chop 0.25 cup of fresh parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the parsley over the top.
Step 8
Serve the Keto Classic Fried Ground Beef hot, as desired, with a side of leafy greens for a complete meal option.
