Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 large head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Medium onion
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for stricter keto)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by prepping the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut into florets. Using a food processor, process the florets into rice-sized pieces, working in batches as necessary.

Step 2

Mince the garlic, chop the onion and bell pepper, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Push the cooked beef to the side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and then add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.

Step 5

Stir the cooked vegetables into the ground beef evenly. Add the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth, stir, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

In a separate large pan over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice. Season lightly with salt and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until tender and slightly golden.

Step 8

Combine the cooked cauliflower rice with the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.
