Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil
- 2½ cups sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 cups carrots peeled and diced
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup beef stock
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper Optional: for extra heat
Instructions
- In a large skillet, browned the ground beef over medium heat, breaking up the meat into a crumble as it browns. Once it's no longer pink, stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Then, cook the spices and garlic in the meat for one more minute. Remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside.
- Now, add the avocado oil to the skillet over medium/heat heat. Once it is hot, add the sweet potatoes and carrots and season them with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. Then, saute the vegetables for 5-10 minutes, browning the sides of the potatoes and carrots. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add back the ground beef, beef stock, and Brussels sprouts. Stir. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are slightly tender or to your liking.
