Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. ground Sawyer Creek Cattle’s premium grass-fed beef
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or substitute 1 tsp garlic powder and a pinch of sea salt)
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups baby spinach, fresh
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or replace with 1 tsp of mixed dried herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Cook the Beef: Add the ground grass-fed beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned.
  3. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes, letting the garlic release its flavor.
  4. Add the Veggies: Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir everything together, cooking for 5–6 minutes or until the veggies are tender-crisp.
  5. Add Spinach: Toss in the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil, and serve warm. This dish is delicious on its own, or you can serve it over quinoa, brown rice, or cauliflower rice.
