Ingredients

• 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your ingredients: dice the onion, and slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the onion and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break up the beef as it cooks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and no longer pink.

Step 6

Drain any excess fat if needed, and reduce heat to medium.

Step 7

Stir in the coconut aminos and tomato paste until well combined with the beef mixture.

Step 8

Add the bell pepper strips, sea salt, ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir everything together and allow to cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until the peppers are tender but still crisp.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
