Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and trimming the ends off the green beans. Cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks, ensuring it browns evenly.

Step 5

Once the beef is browned (approximately 5-7 minutes), drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 6

Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt to the beef. Stir to combine the flavors evenly.

Step 7

Add the green beans to the skillet. Stir them into the beef mixture, ensuring they are well-coated with the seasoning.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet, and let the mixture cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and stir one last time.

Step 10

Once the green beans are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat and serve the dish warm. Enjoy your low carb savory ground beef with beans.
