Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 finely minced Garlic cloves
- 400 g Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 250 ml Beef broth

- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking apart the meat with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the sauce cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving for a fresh pop of flavor.
Serve the keto minced meat sauce over zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or any low-carb base of your choice.
Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
