Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup onions, diced (cut very small)
- 0.5 cup red bell peppers, diced
- 2.5 cups sweet potatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup beef broth or water
- 1 medium zucchini, quartered
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.33 cup tomato passata or sauce of your choice
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.125 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- fresh parsley, chopped for garnishing
For the Meal Prep
- 5 cups cauliflower rice
Instructions
- In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef and garlic. Use a wooden spoon to break up the ground beef while it cooks. Stir occasionally, and cook for about 7 minutes until the meat is no longer pink. Remove the meat from the pan, and set aside.
- Add the onions and red bell peppers to the same skillet, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are soft. If necessary, add a little bit of olive oil to help sauté the veggies.
- Add the sweet potatoes and beef broth. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Put a lid on the skillet. The steam will help cook the sweet potatoes faster. Stir occasionally.
- Add the zucchini, and cook for 3 minutes.
- Return the ground beef to the skillet, and mix everything together.
- Add the Dijon, tomato passata, oregano, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
