Keto Ground Beef and Peppers Skillet

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Organic ground beef (grass-fed, if possible) 1 lb
Assorted bell peppers (sliced) 2 to 3
Olive oil 2 tbsp
Onion (diced) 1
Garlic cloves (minced) 2
Spices (chili powder, cumin, paprika) 1 tsp each (or to taste)
Salt and black pepper To taste

Step-By-Step Directions:

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 3/4 minutes until they are soft, translucent, and fragrant.

  2. Brown the Beef: Crumble the ground beef directly into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it is completely browned and no pink remains.

  3. Season: Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the browned beef. Stir continuously for 1/2 minutes to toast the spices and ensure the meat is evenly coated.

  4. Cook the Peppers: Toss the sliced assorted bell peppers into the skillet. Stir them into the seasoned beef mixture and cook for 5/7 minutes, or until the peppers are tender-crisp and have absorbed the savory pan juices.

  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning with an extra pinch of salt or pepper if needed. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh minced herbs—such as cilantro or parsley—and serve hot straight from the pan.
