Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams extra-lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced red bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the extra-lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook and stir, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, for about 5-7 minutes, until the beef is browned and fully cooked through.
Add the low-sodium soy sauce, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Stir well to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Lower the heat to medium and allow the mixture to cook for another 2-3 minutes for the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish with a side of whole grains or salad for a balanced meal.
