Ingredients

• 500 grams grass-fed ground beef
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 400 grams diced tomatoes (no added sugar)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 lime (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is melted and hot, add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef to the other side. Break the beef apart with a wooden spoon or spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Drain any excess fat from the skillet if needed, then mix the beef and vegetables together.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Step 8

Remove from heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a filling for lettuce wraps, paleo-friendly tortillas, or over a bed of cauliflower rice.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
